1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, 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 as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
- The use of an elegant finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in shaping and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
- Universal use in future technologies – they are used in HDD drives, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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 when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Respect the power
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
Keep away from electronics
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Power loss in heat
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Medical interference
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Combustion hazard
Dust generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Eye protection
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Electronic hazard
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Allergic reactions
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Danger to the youngest
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
