1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.43
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate creating as well as adapting to concrete applications,
- Huge importance in electronics industry – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Cards and drives
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Fire risk
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Demagnetization risk
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.
Do not underestimate power
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Keep away from electronics
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
No play value
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause a rash. We recommend use safety gloves.
Fragile material
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Bone fractures
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
