1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose magnetism, even after around ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
- The use of an refined layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the option of flexible molding and customization to unique requirements, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical devices, also multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Protective goggles
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Adults only
These products are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Magnetic interference
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Safe operation
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Certain individuals have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause skin redness. We recommend wear safety gloves.
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Physical harm
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Demagnetization risk
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
