1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- In other words, due to the metallic finish of silver, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnets are distinguished by excellent magnetic induction on the active area,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Due to the option of flexible molding and adaptation to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they are used in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
No play value
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Warning for allergy sufferers
A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
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.
Machining danger
Powder generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Beware of splinters
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Magnetic media
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Medical implants
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Conscious usage
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
