1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.27
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 and cons of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external fields,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface has better aesthetics,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Due to the option of precise forming and customization to custom needs, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Significant place in future technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- with total lack of distance (without coatings)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Dust explosion hazard
Powder generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Do not give to children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
Power loss in heat
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
GPS Danger
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Handling guide
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Implant safety
People with a ICD have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
Avoid contact if allergic
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.
Serious injuries
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Material brittleness
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
