1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces 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) = 1.59
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 neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- 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...
- Considering the option of free forming and customization to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Immense force
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Allergic reactions
Some people have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. We recommend wear protective gloves.
Medical interference
People with a heart stimulator should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
Magnetic interference
Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Serious injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Do not give to children
Always store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Dust explosion hazard
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Protect data
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
