1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.54
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- By using a shiny coating of nickel, the element acquires an proper look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be extremely intense,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Considering the possibility of precise forming and customization to custom solutions, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they find application in magnetic memories, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose strength 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
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with direct contact (without coatings)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Shattering risk
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Allergic reactions
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Thermal limits
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Fire warning
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
No play value
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Bodily injuries
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Threat to navigation
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.
Do not underestimate power
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Implant safety
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
