1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly 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) = 0.38
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Neodymium magnets are remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
- The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to customize to specific needs,
- Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are used in data components, drive modules, medical devices, and industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Fire warning
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Cards and drives
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Powerful field
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Thermal limits
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.
Warning for heart patients
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Metal Allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
GPS and phone interference
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Crushing risk
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.
Choking Hazard
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.
