1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface looks better,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the ability of accurate forming and customization to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with direct contact (no impurities)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Handling guide
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Precision electronics
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Do not overheat magnets
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Dust explosion hazard
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.
Avoid contact if allergic
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and choose versions in plastic housing.
Protective goggles
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Protect data
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Swallowing risk
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
