1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits 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) = 0.45
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose strength, even over nearly 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the ability of flexible molding and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Key role in advanced technology sectors – they find application in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Crushing force
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
No play value
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Safe operation
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Life threat
People with a pacemaker have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Keep away from computers
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Compass and GPS
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Beware of splinters
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
