1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.68
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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets remain highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a smooth nickel surface is more attractive,
- Magnets possess exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the active area,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Crushing force
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Product not for children
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Phone sensors
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Heat sensitivity
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Handling rules
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.
