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. computer 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) = 1.21
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- By using a lustrous coating of gold, the element acquires an professional look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is maximum,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to modify to unusual requirements,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- with direct contact (without paint)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Safe operation
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Warning for allergy sufferers
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
Crushing force
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
This is not a toy
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Health Danger
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Maximum temperature
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Mechanical processing
Dust created during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Threat to navigation
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
