1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.74
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even over approximately 10 years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- By using a lustrous layer of silver, the element gains an professional look,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate modeling and adapting to complex needs,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are utilized in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Dust is flammable
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Product not for children
Always store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Pinching danger
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Powerful field
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.
Heat sensitivity
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Precision electronics
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Metal Allergy
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Data carriers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Health Danger
People with a ICD should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.
