1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
- In other words, due to the shiny surface of nickel, the element gains visual value,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of accurate modeling and modifying to precise applications,
- Significant place in electronics industry – they are commonly used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
- 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 protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground contact surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Respect the power
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Electronic hazard
Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals have a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Keep away from children
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Serious injuries
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.
Machining danger
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
Medical interference
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Power loss in heat
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
