1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.27
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 neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- Their strength is durable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface has an effective appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Due to the ability of free molding and customization to specialized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be created in a variety of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Universal use in innovative solutions – they serve a role in mass storage devices, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 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 several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Warning for allergy sufferers
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Immense force
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their force.
Keep away from computers
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
Life threat
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Adults only
Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
