1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.37
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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- Their strength remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets perfectly defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- The use of an metallic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- 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 versatility in shaping and the ability to adapt to client solutions,
- Significant place in modern technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their power 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Plate thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Do not overheat magnets
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Safe distance
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Precision electronics
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Immense force
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause a rash. We strongly advise use protective gloves.
Mechanical processing
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Swallowing risk
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Medical implants
Patients with a heart stimulator have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Beware of splinters
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
