1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces 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) = 0.24
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 as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface is more attractive,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to modify to complex applications,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- 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 testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Cards and drives
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Adults only
These products are not suitable for play. Eating several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Do not drill into magnets
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Magnets are brittle
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Nickel coating and allergies
Certain individuals have a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause an allergic reaction. We recommend use protective gloves.
Serious injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Operating temperature
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Phone sensors
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
