1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the critical limit 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- Magnets possess impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
- 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...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to customize to unusual requirements,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they find application in HDD drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 stability 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 immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- with total lack of distance (without impurities)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Health Danger
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Beware of splinters
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
Data carriers
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Permanent damage
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Fire warning
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Adults only
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Physical harm
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Powerful field
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Skin irritation risks
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Keep away from electronics
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
