1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.50
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Magnets perfectly resist against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface looks better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of exact forming as well as adjusting to concrete requirements,
- Universal use in modern technologies – they are used in data components, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface free of scratches
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Allergy Warning
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Do not give to children
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Maximum temperature
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Do not drill into magnets
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Handling guide
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Threat to electronics
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Warning for heart patients
People with a ICD must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Shattering risk
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
