1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.55
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 rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Neodymium magnets remain extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
- In other words, due to the metallic layer of silver, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains impressive,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the ability of accurate shaping and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Universal use in modern technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 very resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- with direct contact (no impurities)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Machining danger
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Magnetic media
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Crushing force
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We suggest wear safety gloves.
Immense force
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Demagnetization risk
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Phone sensors
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Fragile material
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
Warning for heart patients
Patients with a heart stimulator must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Danger to the youngest
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
