1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.66
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- In other words, due to the glossy surface of gold, the element looks attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of accurate forming as well as optimizing to specific conditions,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Do not give to children
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Safe distance
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Magnetic interference
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Handling rules
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Crushing force
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Do not overheat magnets
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
