1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.29
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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose power, even during approximately ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- In other words, due to the smooth layer of silver, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains very high,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate shaping and optimizing to individual conditions,
- Huge importance in future technologies – they are utilized in data components, electric motors, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with zero gap (no paint)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Caution required
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.
Health Danger
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Keep away from electronics
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Keep away from computers
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Danger to the youngest
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.
Sensitization to coating
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Fire risk
Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Demagnetization risk
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
