1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.14
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 offers
Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- Thanks to the elegant finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of custom shaping and modifying to complex applications,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in hard drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Limitations
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground contact surface
- with total lack of distance (without coatings)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Operating temperature – 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).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Conscious usage
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.
Flammability
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Adults only
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Threat to electronics
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Warning for allergy sufferers
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Phone sensors
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
