1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46
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 and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose magnetism, even over nearly ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- In other words, due to the metallic finish of gold, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is maximum,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they find application in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest 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
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Safe distance
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Crushing force
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
This is not a toy
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Powerful field
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Permanent damage
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Mechanical processing
Dust produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Avoid contact if allergic
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Threat to navigation
A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
