1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, the max working temp 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- 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 the potential of precise shaping and customization to individualized projects, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in data components, electric motors, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (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 slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Hand protection
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Demagnetization risk
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.
Mechanical processing
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Impact on smartphones
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Immense force
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Warning for allergy sufferers
A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise use protective gloves.
Pacemakers
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Adults only
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Threat to electronics
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
