1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.45
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 products
Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain full power for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual modeling and optimizing to complex requirements,
- Universal use in future technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- with total lack of distance (no paint)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Cards and drives
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Power loss in heat
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Powerful field
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Life threat
People with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.
Swallowing risk
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Compass and GPS
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
Crushing force
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
