1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 1.19
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.
Benefits
- Their strength is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed forming and adjusting to precise requirements,
- Key role in future technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Sensitization to coating
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Risk of cracking
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Electronic hazard
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Precision electronics
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Keep away from children
These products are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Hand protection
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Respect the power
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
