1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly 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) = 0.16
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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- Their strength is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface has better aesthetics,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual shaping as well as optimizing to individual requirements,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface perfectly flat
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Operating temperature
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Keep away from computers
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Shattering risk
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Caution required
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Magnetic interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Do not give to children
Strictly store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
