1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.16
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even over nearly 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is very high,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom forming as well as optimizing to precise needs,
- Key role in modern industrial fields – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. 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 pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Powerful field
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Sensitization to coating
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Physical harm
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Combustion hazard
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Operating temperature
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Medical implants
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Precision electronics
An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Choking Hazard
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Protect data
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
