1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.26
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even after nearly 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnets possess impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in shaping and the ability to customize to unusual requirements,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Health Danger
People with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
Bodily injuries
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Threat to navigation
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Swallowing risk
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Conscious usage
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Magnetic media
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Fragile material
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Heat sensitivity
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Flammability
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Nickel coating and allergies
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
