1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically 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) = 0.26
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.

Other products
Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets are exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
- The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the option of precise molding and customization to unique needs, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in data components, electric motors, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface perfectly flat
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Nickel coating and allergies
Some people experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We suggest use protective gloves.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Health Danger
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Adults only
Strictly store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Safe operation
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Operating temperature
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Machining danger
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Bone fractures
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Precision electronics
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.
