1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.35
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even over nearly ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
- Universal use in future technologies – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Electronic hazard
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Allergy Warning
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.
Risk of cracking
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Combustion hazard
Dust produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Handling guide
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Permanent damage
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Medical interference
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Do not give to children
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
