1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits 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) = 0.79
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.

Other products
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to modify to unusual requirements,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they are used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Warning for heart patients
Individuals with a pacemaker must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Nickel allergy
Some people suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause dermatitis. We suggest wear protective gloves.
Crushing force
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Electronic hazard
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Keep away from electronics
A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Immense force
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
This is not a toy
Always keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Do not drill into magnets
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
