1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Magnets are characterized by excellent magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of exact modeling as well as modifying to concrete applications,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize 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
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis 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
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Conscious usage
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Material brittleness
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Combustion hazard
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Skin irritation risks
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Danger to pacemakers
Individuals with a ICD have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.
No play value
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Magnetic media
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Physical harm
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Precision electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Thermal limits
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
