1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 1.21
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets remain extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
- In other words, due to the shiny layer of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of precise shaping and adjusting to precise conditions,
- Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Handling rules
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Do not drill into magnets
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Cards and drives
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Phone sensors
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Magnets are brittle
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Adults only
These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Heat warning
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Hand protection
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Nickel coating and allergies
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
