1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
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) = 0.26
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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic finish of silver, the element gains visual value,
- Magnets exhibit impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to modify to complex applications,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Handling rules
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
Crushing risk
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Product not for children
Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Sensitization to coating
Some people have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. It is best to wear safety gloves.
Protect data
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Mechanical processing
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Power loss in heat
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Precision electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
