1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.48
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual shaping and optimizing to complex conditions,
- Key role in innovative solutions – they find application in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Dust explosion hazard
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Caution required
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
This is not a toy
These products are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Material brittleness
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Nickel allergy
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for versions in plastic housing.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Heat sensitivity
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Warning for heart patients
Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Compass and GPS
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
