1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26
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 neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even over nearly ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- By using a reflective layer of nickel, the element gains an modern look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of custom forming as well as adjusting to defined needs,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny clearance (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).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is reached 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).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Conscious usage
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and choose encased magnets.
Dust is flammable
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Beware of splinters
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Safe distance
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Maximum temperature
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Life threat
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
GPS and phone interference
Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Keep away from children
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
