1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens 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) = 0.29
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- In view of the ability of accurate shaping and adaptation to specialized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they find application in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Flammability
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Threat to navigation
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Do not underestimate power
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.
Maximum temperature
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.
Product not for children
These products are not toys. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Bodily injuries
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Risk of cracking
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
