1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.43
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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- By using a reflective coating of gold, the element presents an nice look,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is very high,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- with zero gap (without paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Serious injuries
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Conscious usage
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Mechanical processing
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Keep away from computers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Nickel coating and allergies
Certain individuals have a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
Beware of splinters
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Keep away from children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
