1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.66
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 and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- Their strength is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- By applying a shiny coating of gold, the element gains an aesthetic look,
- Magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Considering the possibility of flexible forming and customization to specialized projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. 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
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Crushing force
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Electronic devices
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Pacemakers
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Do not give to children
Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Powerful field
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.
