1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.29
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even over nearly 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Considering the option of free molding and adaptation to individualized projects, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Pinching danger
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Precision electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
Combustion hazard
Dust produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Warning for heart patients
Patients with a ICD have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Demagnetization risk
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Do not give to children
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Safe distance
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or opt for versions in plastic housing.
Do not underestimate power
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.
