1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.26
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.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets very well protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- By using a lustrous coating of nickel, the element acquires an aesthetic look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be strong,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of exact creating as well as adjusting to precise applications,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in magnetic memories, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with total lack of distance (without impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Permanent damage
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Caution required
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Adults only
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Data carriers
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Magnetic interference
A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Serious injuries
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Nickel coating and allergies
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Dust explosion hazard
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Shattering risk
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
