1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.48
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
- The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains strong,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate modeling as well as optimizing to individual applications,
- Key role in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their force 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum 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.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Warnings
GPS Danger
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Allergy Warning
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Dust explosion hazard
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Conscious usage
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Data carriers
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Operating temperature
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Keep away from children
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Serious injuries
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
