1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31
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 neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the shiny finish of gold, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed forming as well as adapting to defined needs,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are used in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Hand protection
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Beware of splinters
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Implant safety
Individuals with a ICD should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Demagnetization risk
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Dust explosion hazard
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Sensitization to coating
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.
Product not for children
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Handling rules
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
