1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens 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) = 0.12
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose power, even over approximately 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- By covering with a smooth coating of silver, the element acquires an professional look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Warnings
Electronic hazard
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Respect the power
Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Medical implants
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Metal Allergy
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or select versions in plastic housing.
Demagnetization risk
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Material brittleness
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Phone sensors
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
This is not a toy
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Serious injuries
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Mechanical processing
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
