1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 1.13
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.
Strengths
- Their power is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface looks better,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the possibility of precise forming and adaptation to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Choking Hazard
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Safe distance
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Do not drill into magnets
Dust created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Immense force
Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Crushing force
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Warning for heart patients
Patients with a pacemaker must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Maximum temperature
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Magnetic interference
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Warning for allergy sufferers
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
