1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces 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) = 0.68
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 rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains exceptional,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to customize to specific needs,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- with total lack of distance (no paint)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Load vector – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Safe distance
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Caution required
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Avoid contact if allergic
Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and choose versions in plastic housing.
Power loss in heat
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Swallowing risk
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Dust is flammable
Powder generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Shattering risk
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
