1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.80
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.
Benefits
- They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Magnets very well protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnets are distinguished by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the surface,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate modeling as well as adjusting to defined requirements,
- Key role in electronics industry – they are used in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Warning for allergy sufferers
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Keep away from computers
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Serious injuries
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Immense force
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Fire warning
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Do not overheat magnets
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Choking Hazard
These products are not intended for children. Eating several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Keep away from electronics
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
