1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.38
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.

Other deals
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- In other words, due to the shiny finish of nickel, the element gains visual value,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Considering the possibility of accurate shaping and customization to custom solutions, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at temperature room level
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Keep away from electronics
A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Handling rules
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Threat to electronics
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Bodily injuries
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Do not give to children
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Health Danger
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Thermal limits
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Mechanical processing
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Magnet fragility
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
