1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- By covering with a reflective coating of gold, the element has an aesthetic look,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of exact shaping and optimizing to individual requirements,
- Huge importance in future technologies – they are commonly used in data components, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Adults only
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Protective goggles
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Keep away from electronics
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Fire risk
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Cards and drives
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Medical interference
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Immense force
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Crushing risk
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Nickel allergy
A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We suggest wear safety gloves.
