1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44
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.

Other deals
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- By covering with a decorative coating of nickel, the element has an professional look,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to modify to specific needs,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- 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 extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Crushing risk
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Flammability
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Conscious usage
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Nickel allergy
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and choose versions in plastic housing.
Danger to the youngest
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
Keep away from electronics
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Protective goggles
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
ICD Warning
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Heat warning
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
