1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.14
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 as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
- The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface,
- 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...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to customize to unusual requirements,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Risk of cracking
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Medical interference
Individuals with a heart stimulator have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the implant.
Bodily injuries
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Electronic devices
Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Do not give to children
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Handling guide
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Operating temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Dust explosion hazard
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
