1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 1.34
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 neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- In other words, due to the glossy finish of silver, the element gains visual value,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Considering the potential of free forming and customization to specialized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Significant place in electronics industry – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes 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).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Warnings
Life threat
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Handling guide
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Material brittleness
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Swallowing risk
Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Electronic hazard
Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Physical harm
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.
Dust is flammable
Dust created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
