1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.13
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.
Strengths
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- By covering with a reflective layer of gold, the element gains an elegant look,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to customize to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they serve a role in data components, brushless drives, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their force 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. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Fire warning
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
No play value
Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Do not overheat magnets
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Magnet fragility
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Magnetic interference
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Caution required
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Skin irritation risks
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
