1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.84
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.
Strengths
- They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- Magnets exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to customize to complex applications,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Keep away from computers
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Health Danger
Patients with a heart stimulator must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Threat to navigation
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Safe operation
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
This is not a toy
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Allergic reactions
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and choose coated magnets.
Finger safety
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Flammability
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
