1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.32
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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain full power for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is exceptional,
- 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 shaping and the ability to customize to complex applications,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Physical harm
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Skin irritation risks
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Keep away from electronics
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Magnetic media
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Product not for children
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Powerful field
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
