1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.43
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is extremely intense,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- 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.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with total lack of distance (without impurities)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Powerful field
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Dust explosion hazard
Powder created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
No play value
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
GPS Danger
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Cards and drives
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.
