1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.50
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- In other words, due to the metallic finish of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- 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...
- Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to customize to client solutions,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures 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, as well as 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 rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with total lack of distance (no paint)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Electronic hazard
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
GPS Danger
Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.
Fragile material
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Allergic reactions
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
This is not a toy
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Power loss in heat
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
