1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.46
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 and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual machining and adapting to individual applications,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they are used in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures 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 prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- with zero gap (no coatings)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop 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 attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Heat warning
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
No play value
Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Electronic hazard
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Life threat
People with a pacemaker must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Fragile material
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Allergic reactions
Some people experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use protective gloves.
Phone sensors
GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Respect the power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
