1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.24
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of precise creating and optimizing to concrete requirements,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Handling rules
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
ICD Warning
Individuals with a pacemaker have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
GPS and phone interference
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Adults only
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Avoid contact if allergic
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact and opt for encased magnets.
Permanent damage
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Machining danger
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Protect data
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
