1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.14
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 neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even during around 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual modeling as well as optimizing to individual conditions,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they find application in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as 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 when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
ICD Warning
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Demagnetization risk
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Physical harm
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Do not drill into magnets
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Magnetic media
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Threat to navigation
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
No play value
Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Safe operation
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
