1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.36
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.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external fields,
- The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be very high,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
- Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Magnet fragility
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Phone sensors
GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Danger to the youngest
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Conscious usage
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Flammability
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Do not overheat magnets
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Medical implants
Patients with a pacemaker must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Threat to electronics
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Serious injuries
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
