1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.37
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 and cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- By applying a shiny layer of gold, the element has an proper look,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
- 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 accurate shaping as well as optimizing to individual conditions,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Pinching danger
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Dust is flammable
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Do not underestimate power
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Product not for children
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Compass and GPS
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.
