1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.71
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 neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Serious injuries
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Nickel allergy
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.
Danger to the youngest
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
Warning for heart patients
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Fragile material
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Immense force
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Dust is flammable
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Magnetic interference
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Thermal limits
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Electronic devices
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
