1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.35
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of individual machining and modifying to defined conditions,
- Key role in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- with direct contact (without paint)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at ambient temperature room level
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Thermal limits
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Nickel allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Medical implants
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Mechanical processing
Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Protect data
Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Danger to the youngest
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Precision electronics
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Powerful field
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
