1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.48
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.

Other proposals
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
- Magnets have exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to modify to unusual requirements,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest 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 power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Keep away from computers
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Choking Hazard
These products are not intended for children. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Finger safety
Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Medical interference
People with a heart stimulator must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
Handling rules
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Dust explosion hazard
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
GPS and phone interference
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Operating temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
Allergic reactions
Some people have a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. We recommend wear protective gloves.
