1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, 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
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- By covering with a smooth layer of gold, the element gains an elegant look,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 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 secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an polished touching surface
- with total lack of distance (no coatings)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Machining danger
Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Crushing risk
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Avoid contact if allergic
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Do not underestimate power
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Swallowing risk
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Data carriers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Keep away from electronics
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
