1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.19
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 as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They retain full power for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external magnetic sources,
- The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the potential of free molding and adaptation to individualized needs, neodymium magnets can be produced in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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 oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ground contact surface
- with zero gap (without paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Medical interference
People with a pacemaker should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
Material brittleness
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Combustion hazard
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Crushing risk
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
This is not a toy
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Handling rules
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Skin irritation risks
A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. We recommend use protective gloves.
