1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
- By applying a smooth layer of nickel, the element presents an nice look,
- Magnets possess very high magnetic induction on the active area,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to modify to individual projects,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- 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.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. 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 rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Load vector – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Heat warning
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Safe operation
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Dust is flammable
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals have a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Swallowing risk
These products are not toys. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
