1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, the critical limit 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
- The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in constructing and the ability to customize to specific needs,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in HDD drives, drive modules, medical equipment, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Allergy Warning
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Adults only
Strictly store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Handling rules
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Safe distance
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Risk of cracking
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Hand protection
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Fire risk
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Magnetic interference
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
