1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.13
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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
- A magnet with a shiny nickel surface looks better,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains extremely intense,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are commonly used in computer drives, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Hand protection
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Threat to navigation
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Risk of cracking
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact and opt for encased magnets.
Pacemakers
People with a heart stimulator have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Heat sensitivity
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
This is not a toy
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Dust is flammable
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Data carriers
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Handling guide
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
