1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces 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) = 0.59
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 do not lose strength, even over approximately ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Neodymium magnets are exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
- By using a lustrous coating of nickel, the element gains an professional look,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the possibility of accurate forming and customization to custom requirements, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are utilized in data components, electric motors, precision medical tools, also complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Skin irritation risks
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Magnetic media
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Pinching danger
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Conscious usage
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Choking Hazard
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Fire risk
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Precision electronics
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Do not overheat magnets
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
