1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.50
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 as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose power, even after nearly 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be very high,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- NdFeB 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 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an polished contact surface
- with zero gap (without paint)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Medical interference
People with a pacemaker have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
GPS Danger
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Allergic reactions
Some people suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to use safety gloves.
Thermal limits
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Finger safety
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Protect data
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Powerful field
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Flammability
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Keep away from children
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
