1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 1.22
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 products
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external interference,
- The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- 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 shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of detailed creating as well as adapting to complex needs,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Handling rules
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Risk of cracking
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Health Danger
People with a heart stimulator have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Crushing risk
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Skin irritation risks
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Machining danger
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Electronic hazard
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Precision electronics
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Adults only
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
