1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.30
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.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even during approximately 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface has an effective appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- 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...
- Possibility of precise machining and modifying to defined requirements,
- Universal use in innovative solutions – they serve a role in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and 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 while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Keep away from computers
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Serious injuries
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Mechanical processing
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Do not overheat magnets
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Compass and GPS
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Metal Allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Keep away from children
These products are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Shattering risk
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Danger to pacemakers
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Powerful field
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
