1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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
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 rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even after nearly 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Magnets are characterized by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer side,
- 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 modularity in constructing and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they find application in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose power 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 very resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics 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
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with direct contact (without impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Load vector – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Warnings
Warning for heart patients
Patients with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Choking Hazard
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Bone fractures
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Do not overheat magnets
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.
Mechanical processing
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Phone sensors
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Caution required
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
