1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- Their strength is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual machining and adjusting to concrete conditions,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they are utilized in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
GPS and phone interference
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Demagnetization risk
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
This is not a toy
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Shattering risk
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Caution required
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Serious injuries
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.
Safe distance
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Warning for heart patients
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Flammability
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
