1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces 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) = 0.32
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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- 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 versatility in constructing and the capacity to modify to specific needs,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Maximum temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Immense force
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Fragile material
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
Sensitization to coating
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Finger safety
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
No play value
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Dust is flammable
Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Keep away from computers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
