1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely 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) = 0.13
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.

Other products
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their strength is durable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Magnets effectively resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- In other words, due to the glossy layer of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is very high,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- In view of the option of free molding and adaptation to individualized solutions, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Wide application in innovative solutions – they serve a role in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Mechanical processing
Dust produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Respect the power
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Impact on smartphones
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Danger to pacemakers
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Avoid contact if allergic
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. We recommend use protective gloves.
Eye protection
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.
No play value
Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
