1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.38
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 as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- 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...
- Due to the possibility of precise shaping and customization to unique needs, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Significant place in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – 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 thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Precision electronics
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Magnetic media
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Powerful field
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Magnets are brittle
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Physical harm
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Power loss in heat
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
Do not give to children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Nickel allergy
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.
Machining danger
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Medical interference
Individuals with a heart stimulator have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
