1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*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) = 0.13
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even after around ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- Magnets possess maximum magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Considering the possibility of precise molding and adaptation to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Key role in advanced technology sectors – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Beware of splinters
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Physical harm
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Danger to the youngest
Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Cards and drives
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Fire warning
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Do not underestimate power
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Threat to navigation
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Do not overheat magnets
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Allergy Warning
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
