1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 1.16
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 have stable power, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the potential of free forming and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Key role in electronics industry – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- 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 increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- with direct contact (no coatings)
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Medical implants
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Eye protection
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Do not overheat magnets
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Swallowing risk
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Electronic hazard
Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Mechanical processing
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Threat to navigation
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Conscious usage
Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
