1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.33
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 proposals
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains maximum,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they find application in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ground touching surface
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Handling rules
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
This is not a toy
These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Mechanical processing
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Threat to navigation
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Avoid contact if allergic
Some people experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We recommend use protective gloves.
Magnet fragility
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Heat warning
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Medical implants
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Data carriers
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
