1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.50
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even over nearly ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the reflective layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- 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...
- Possibility of detailed creating and adapting to individual applications,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they find application in HDD drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Allergy Warning
Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We recommend use protective gloves.
Threat to navigation
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Fire warning
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Safe distance
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Operating temperature
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Product not for children
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Bone fractures
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Handling rules
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Pacemakers
Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
