1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.30
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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual modeling and adapting to concrete requirements,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with direct contact (no paint)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Powerful field
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
Electronic hazard
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Implant safety
People with a heart stimulator have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
Choking Hazard
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Eating multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Nickel allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Precision electronics
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Pinching danger
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Fire risk
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
