1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.14
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- Their strength is durable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the option of flexible forming and customization to unique needs, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 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 maximum value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast 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 load capacity.
Warnings
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Health Danger
Patients with a ICD should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Fire warning
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Maximum temperature
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Phone sensors
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Electronic hazard
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Do not underestimate power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Swallowing risk
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Metal Allergy
Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.
