1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens 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) = 0.76
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 and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose magnetism, even over approximately ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the possibility of accurate shaping and customization to custom projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical devices, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to 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
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- with zero gap (no impurities)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, 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.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
GPS Danger
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Avoid contact if allergic
Some people have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. We recommend wear protective gloves.
Immense force
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Bone fractures
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Danger to the youngest
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Dust explosion hazard
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Danger to pacemakers
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Protect data
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
