1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically 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) = 0.24
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 rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual machining and optimizing to concrete requirements,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature room level
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Operating temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Mechanical processing
Powder created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Beware of splinters
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Impact on smartphones
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Caution required
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
Implant safety
Individuals with a ICD must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Hand protection
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Danger to the youngest
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
