1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens 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) = 0.14
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.
Benefits
- They retain magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the metallic layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the potential of precise molding and customization to specialized needs, magnetic components can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Key role in future technologies – they are utilized in data components, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Cons
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Life threat
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Demagnetization risk
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.
Safe operation
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Allergy Warning
A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Impact on smartphones
A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Flammability
Powder created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Crushing risk
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Danger to the youngest
Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Magnets are brittle
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Safe distance
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
