1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even after around 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- By covering with a smooth coating of silver, the element has an aesthetic look,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Considering the possibility of accurate molding and customization to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in data components, drive modules, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground contact surface
- with zero gap (no paint)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Adults only
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Warning for allergy sufferers
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or select versions in plastic housing.
Dust is flammable
Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Crushing risk
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Electronic devices
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Life threat
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Respect the power
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Compass and GPS
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
