1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They retain magnetic properties for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- By covering with a shiny layer of silver, the element acquires an professional look,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of custom machining as well as adapting to defined conditions,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they find application in data components, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- at temperature room level
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Permanent damage
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Avoid contact if allergic
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Choking Hazard
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Safe distance
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Handling rules
Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Life threat
Patients with a heart stimulator must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
Flammability
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Magnetic interference
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Material brittleness
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
