1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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 neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets perfectly resist against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- By applying a decorative coating of nickel, the element acquires an aesthetic look,
- Magnets possess extremely high magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to modify to complex applications,
- Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices 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
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface perfectly flat
- with direct contact (no coatings)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens 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 holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Swallowing risk
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.
Magnets are brittle
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Dust is flammable
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Caution required
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Do not overheat magnets
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Pinching danger
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Impact on smartphones
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Electronic hazard
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
