1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.52
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 and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- A magnet with a metallic gold surface looks better,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Due to the potential of accurate shaping and adaptation to specialized projects, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Product not for children
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Demagnetization risk
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Handling guide
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Phone sensors
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Fire risk
Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Magnets are brittle
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Nickel coating and allergies
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Physical harm
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
