1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.27
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.

Other proposals
Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even during approximately ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
- By covering with a reflective coating of nickel, the element acquires an professional look,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the possibility of precise shaping and adaptation to custom projects, magnetic components can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Magnetic media
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Choking Hazard
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Do not underestimate power
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Implant safety
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Fragile material
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Skin irritation risks
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.
Impact on smartphones
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
