1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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
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 as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- By applying a shiny layer of gold, the element gains an proper look,
- Magnets possess extremely high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Universal use in innovative solutions – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with direct contact (without paint)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Pinching danger
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Flammability
Dust created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Avoid contact if allergic
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Adults only
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.
Powerful field
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Compass and GPS
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Health Danger
People with a heart stimulator must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.
Maximum temperature
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Fragile material
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
