1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- By applying a shiny coating of nickel, the element acquires an proper look,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
- 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...
- Possibility of individual creating and modifying to complex requirements,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Permanent damage
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
ICD Warning
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Swallowing risk
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Impact on smartphones
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Bodily injuries
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Caution required
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
Fire risk
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Allergic reactions
Some people experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to wear safety gloves.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
