1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits 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) = 0.40
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 as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external fields,
- Thanks to the elegant finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with total lack of distance (no impurities)
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Nickel allergy
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.
Bodily injuries
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Medical interference
Patients with a ICD should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
Machining danger
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Impact on smartphones
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Safe operation
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Permanent damage
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Product not for children
Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Safe distance
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
