1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 1.00
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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
- By using a lustrous coating of gold, the element acquires an professional look,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the potential of precise shaping and customization to individualized needs, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a variety of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Danger to pacemakers
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Data carriers
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Serious injuries
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Eye protection
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Keep away from children
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Do not drill into magnets
Powder created during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Nickel allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Safe operation
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
