1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.16
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.

Other products
Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They retain magnetic properties for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- By covering with a smooth coating of silver, the element has an elegant look,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- 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...
- In view of the option of free forming and adaptation to individualized requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 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 secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Warning for allergy sufferers
Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. We recommend use safety gloves.
Handling guide
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Adults only
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Fragile material
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Threat to navigation
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Cards and drives
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Combustion hazard
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Serious injuries
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Health Danger
People with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
