1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly 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) = 0.35
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.
Advantages
- Their strength is durable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- In other words, due to the smooth layer of silver, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnets are characterized by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Considering the ability of free shaping and customization to unique needs, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Significant place in electronics industry – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, medical equipment, and 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
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Immense force
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Safe distance
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Shattering risk
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Physical harm
Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Keep away from children
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Avoid contact if allergic
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Machining danger
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Impact on smartphones
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Do not overheat magnets
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Warning for heart patients
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
