1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits 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) = 0.46
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.

Other products
Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They retain full power for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- In other words, due to the shiny layer of nickel, the element gains visual value,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains extremely intense,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. 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.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Implant safety
Patients with a ICD have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
Machining danger
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Fragile material
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Magnetic interference
An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Allergy Warning
A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Electronic hazard
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Swallowing risk
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Handling rules
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Maximum temperature
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
