1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% 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) = 0.26
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their power is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets remain exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a smooth nickel surface is more attractive,
- Magnets possess huge magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Due to the ability of flexible molding and customization to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Wide application in future technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an polished contact surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Keep away from computers
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Power loss in heat
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Allergic reactions
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Phone sensors
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Combustion hazard
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
No play value
Always store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Respect the power
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Pinching danger
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
