1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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.
Strengths
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- By covering with a decorative layer of gold, the element gains an proper look,
- Magnets exhibit excellent magnetic induction on the surface,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of custom forming and optimizing to atypical requirements,
- Key role in advanced technology sectors – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- with zero gap (no impurities)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Plate thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under 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 lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Medical implants
Patients with a pacemaker should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the implant.
Hand protection
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Keep away from electronics
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Cards and drives
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Sensitization to coating
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Immense force
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Keep away from children
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Dust explosion hazard
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Thermal limits
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
