1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.76
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 offers
Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains maximum,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the possibility of precise shaping and adaptation to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- At 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 lose 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally 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.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Flammability
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
No play value
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Crushing risk
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Do not overheat magnets
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Eye protection
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Safe operation
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.
Electronic devices
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
