1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.22
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- Magnets exhibit huge magnetic induction on the surface,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- In view of the potential of precise molding and customization to individualized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Key role in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to 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.
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Medical implants
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Choking Hazard
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Nickel allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Protect data
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Bodily injuries
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Do not overheat magnets
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Protective goggles
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Conscious usage
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Combustion hazard
Dust created during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
