1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.66
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface has an effective appearance,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate shaping and adjusting to atypical requirements,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they find application in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Impact on smartphones
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Serious injuries
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Machining danger
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Do not give to children
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Heat sensitivity
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Eye protection
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
