1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.31
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even over approximately 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- In other words, due to the metallic finish of gold, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- 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 precise forming and adapting to defined needs,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for versions in plastic housing.
Keep away from children
These products are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.
Mechanical processing
Dust created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Do not underestimate power
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Safe distance
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Beware of splinters
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Physical harm
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
GPS and phone interference
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Demagnetization risk
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
