1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.14
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 rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Magnets very well protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- In other words, due to the smooth layer of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- 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 custom machining as well as optimizing to concrete conditions,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they serve a role in data components, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 very resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- with zero gap (without paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Do not give to children
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Bodily injuries
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Medical interference
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Safe distance
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Machining danger
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Magnets are brittle
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Immense force
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Permanent damage
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
