1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.24
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 rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain full power for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains extremely intense,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of precise forming and adjusting to individual applications,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical devices, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Nickel allergy
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Shattering risk
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Health Danger
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Respect the power
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Flammability
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Keep away from children
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Precision electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Operating temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
