1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. The solid red line represents the demagnetization curve (material potential), while the dashed blue line is the load line based on the magnet's geometry. The Pc (Permeance Coefficient), also known as the load line slope, is a dimensionless value that describes the relationship between the magnet's shape and its magnetic stability. The intersection of these two lines (the black dot) is the operating point — it determines the actual magnetic flux density generated by the magnet in this specific configuration. A higher Pc value means the magnet is more 'slender' (tall relative to its area), resulting in a higher operating point and better resistance to irreversible demagnetization caused by external fields or temperature. A value of 0.42 is relatively low (typical for flat magnets), meaning the operating point is closer to the 'knee' of the curve — caution is advised when operating at temperatures near the maximum limit to avoid strength loss.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual forming as well as modifying to individual needs,
- Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Do not give to children
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Threat to electronics
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
GPS and phone interference
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Fragile material
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Combustion hazard
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Life threat
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Handling rules
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
