1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Magnets very well protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is extremely intense,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom creating as well as modifying to individual requirements,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to 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
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Medical interference
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
Magnetic media
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Choking Hazard
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.
Combustion hazard
Powder generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Avoid contact if allergic
Some people suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause skin redness. It is best to use safety gloves.
Do not overheat magnets
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Impact on smartphones
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Do not underestimate power
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
