1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.48
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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- 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 shaping and the ability to customize to complex applications,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they serve a role in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- with direct contact (without impurities)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Nickel allergy
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.
Shattering risk
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Phone sensors
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Flammability
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Do not overheat magnets
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Health Danger
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Magnetic media
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Safe operation
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Swallowing risk
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
