1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.43
The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- Their strength is durable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Magnets possess impressive magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the option of precise forming and customization to custom requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Huge importance in future technologies – they are utilized in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- in temp. approx. 20°C
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Keep away from electronics
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Material brittleness
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Do not give to children
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Heat warning
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Life threat
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Threat to electronics
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Powerful field
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Fire warning
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
