1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.24
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 as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even after nearly ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of gold, the element gains visual value,
- Magnets are distinguished by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the active area,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the option of accurate molding and adaptation to custom needs, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to 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 can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- with direct contact (no paint)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Plate thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Fire risk
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Allergy Warning
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.
Precision electronics
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Risk of cracking
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Electronic devices
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Caution required
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Choking Hazard
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Pinching danger
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
