1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.25
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the reflective surface of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of detailed modeling and optimizing to complex needs,
- Huge importance in future technologies – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Heat sensitivity
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Impact on smartphones
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Dust is flammable
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Magnetic media
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Risk of cracking
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Safe operation
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
No play value
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Hand protection
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
