1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.33
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- Their strength is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- A magnet with a metallic gold surface has better aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate modeling and adapting to concrete requirements,
- Significant place in electronics industry – they find application in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (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 very resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Cards and drives
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Adults only
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Powerful field
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Crushing force
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Phone sensors
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Do not drill into magnets
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Heat sensitivity
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Nickel coating and allergies
A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause dermatitis. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
