1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.31
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.
Benefits
- Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Magnets perfectly defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- By using a reflective layer of gold, the element presents an modern look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- 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...
- Due to the ability of accurate forming and customization to specialized projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Significant place in future technologies – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. 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 when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Crushing force
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Handling rules
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
GPS and phone interference
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Medical implants
People with a ICD have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Danger to the youngest
These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Magnetic media
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Fragile material
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Metal Allergy
Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in a rash. We suggest use safety gloves.
Flammability
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
