1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens 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) = 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Magnets have maximum magnetic induction on the working surface,
- 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 shaping and the ability to modify to individual projects,
- Key role in modern industrial fields – they find application in hard drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Dust is flammable
Dust produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Shattering risk
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Medical implants
Patients with a heart stimulator should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Respect the power
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Danger to the youngest
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Keep away from electronics
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Skin irritation risks
Some people have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Operating temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
