1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.42
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.

Other proposals
Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains exceptional,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they are commonly used in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Plate thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Mechanical processing
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
Do not overheat magnets
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Powerful field
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Magnetic interference
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Crushing risk
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Swallowing risk
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.
Cards and drives
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Nickel coating and allergies
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.
