1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89
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 and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- The use of an elegant finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate shaping as well as adapting to concrete applications,
- Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at temperature room level
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Warnings
Do not give to children
Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Keep away from computers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Power loss in heat
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Handling rules
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Keep away from electronics
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Fire warning
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Allergy Warning
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
