1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.42
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- By using a smooth layer of gold, the element acquires an proper look,
- Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Implant safety
People with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Adults only
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Fire risk
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Magnets are brittle
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Thermal limits
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Impact on smartphones
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Warning for allergy sufferers
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or select encased magnets.
Bone fractures
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Threat to electronics
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
