1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.42
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed modeling and optimizing to precise applications,
- Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they are utilized in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- 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
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Life threat
People with a ICD must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.
Magnetic media
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Nickel allergy
A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We suggest use safety gloves.
Dust explosion hazard
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Safe operation
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
GPS and phone interference
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Fragile material
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
Swallowing risk
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
