1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.14
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface looks better,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation
GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Mechanical processing
Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Protective goggles
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Hand protection
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Do not underestimate power
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Nickel coating and allergies
Some people have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. We suggest wear safety gloves.
Threat to electronics
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Medical interference
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Thermal limits
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Adults only
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
