1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer 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) = 0.24
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 rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- Their strength is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of detailed machining as well as adjusting to defined needs,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in data components, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- with total lack of distance (without coatings)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Respect the power
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Warning for heart patients
People with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Avoid contact if allergic
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.
Magnetic interference
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Hand protection
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Eye protection
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Mechanical processing
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Cards and drives
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Keep away from children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
