1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the critical limit 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- Their strength remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets remain extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- Thanks to the elegant finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to modify to individual projects,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Do not give to children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Bone fractures
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Magnetic interference
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
Do not drill into magnets
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Implant safety
Patients with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
Maximum temperature
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Risk of cracking
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
Caution required
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Avoid contact if allergic
Some people experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Electronic hazard
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
