1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.84
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 neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose power, even during nearly 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains very high,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the possibility of free molding and customization to individualized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce 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 rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Skin irritation risks
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Protect data
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Danger to the youngest
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Implant safety
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Material brittleness
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Heat sensitivity
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Threat to navigation
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Immense force
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
