1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.71
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 neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- By applying a smooth coating of silver, the element gains an aesthetic look,
- Magnets possess extremely high magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Considering the ability of free shaping and adaptation to unique needs, magnetic components can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they are used in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, medical devices, also multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
GPS Danger
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Risk of cracking
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Skin irritation risks
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact and opt for coated magnets.
Safe operation
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Danger to pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Power loss in heat
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Bodily injuries
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Danger to the youngest
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Threat to electronics
Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
