1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 1.09
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 and cons of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- In other words, due to the reflective surface of gold, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnets have extremely high magnetic induction on the outer side,
- 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...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- 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.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Pacemakers
Patients with a ICD should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Avoid contact if allergic
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Conscious usage
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Dust is flammable
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Swallowing risk
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Impact on smartphones
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
