1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46
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 as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Neodymium magnets remain highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the option of precise forming and adaptation to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in HDD drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise 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 complex shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
GPS and phone interference
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Data carriers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Fire warning
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
No play value
These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Eye protection
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Avoid contact if allergic
Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
