1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even during nearly 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom modeling as well as optimizing to individual conditions,
- Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 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 stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Keep away from computers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Do not drill into magnets
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Impact on smartphones
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Handling rules
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Swallowing risk
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Bone fractures
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Metal Allergy
Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. We suggest use safety gloves.
Operating temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Health Danger
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
