1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.25
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets remain extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external interference,
- In other words, due to the glossy finish of silver, the element gains visual value,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains strong,
- 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 freedom in constructing and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- with total lack of distance (without coatings)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in neutral thermal conditions
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Fragile material
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Do not drill into magnets
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Pinching danger
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Handling guide
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Avoid contact if allergic
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Threat to electronics
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Danger to the youngest
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
