1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer 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) = 0.27
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.
Pros
- They retain magnetic properties for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- In other words, due to the reflective finish of gold, the element looks attractive,
- Magnets possess huge magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in constructing and the ability to customize to specific needs,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Flammability
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Keep away from computers
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their force.
Sensitization to coating
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Pinching danger
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Permanent damage
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Do not give to children
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Threat to navigation
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.
