1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 1.31
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.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
- The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains impressive,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- In view of the ability of precise forming and customization to unique projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- 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
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- in temp. approx. 20°C
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Danger to the youngest
These products are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Crushing risk
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Power loss in heat
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Do not underestimate power
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Beware of splinters
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Flammability
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Health Danger
People with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.
Precision electronics
An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Avoid contact if allergic
Some people experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. It is best to wear protective gloves.
