1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.49
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 rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They retain full power for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnets are distinguished by extremely high magnetic induction on the active area,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
- Universal use in future technologies – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Machining danger
Dust created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Choking Hazard
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Eating multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Bodily injuries
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Safe operation
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Keep away from electronics
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Some people suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. It is best to use protective gloves.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Heat warning
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Magnetic media
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Fragile material
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
