1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21
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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- 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...
- Considering the possibility of flexible shaping and customization to specialized requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 very resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at standard ambient temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Power loss in heat
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Avoid contact if allergic
Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. We suggest use protective gloves.
Fragile material
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Handling rules
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
Keep away from electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Medical interference
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Combustion hazard
Dust produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
No play value
Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
