1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.14
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.

Other proposals
Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They retain full power for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Neodymium magnets remain exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Magnets have maximum magnetic induction on the active area,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Key role in future technologies – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Life threat
People with a ICD have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
Machining danger
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.
Skin irritation risks
Some people have a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. We suggest use protective gloves.
Swallowing risk
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Data carriers
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
