1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
- Magnets possess maximum magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual forming and adjusting to complex conditions,
- Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they find application in magnetic memories, brushless drives, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with direct contact (without paint)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Magnets are brittle
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Compass and GPS
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Safe operation
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Bodily injuries
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Threat to electronics
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Mechanical processing
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Demagnetization risk
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Medical implants
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Danger to the youngest
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Allergic reactions
A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause a rash. We suggest use safety gloves.
