1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29
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.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- By using a lustrous layer of silver, the element gains an proper look,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
- Universal use in future technologies – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Do not underestimate power
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Magnetic media
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Do not overheat magnets
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Combustion hazard
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Choking Hazard
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Crushing force
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Life threat
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Precision electronics
Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We recommend wear protective gloves.
