1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.38
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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- By applying a shiny coating of gold, the element has an nice look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of precise creating and optimizing to individual applications,
- Key role in innovative solutions – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Magnet fragility
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Bodily injuries
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Nickel coating and allergies
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Electronic hazard
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Fire risk
Dust created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Conscious usage
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Swallowing risk
Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Power loss in heat
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
