1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.13
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.

Other products
Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the option of flexible molding and customization to unique needs, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in innovative solutions – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Conscious usage
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Precision electronics
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Safe distance
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.
Life threat
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Dust is flammable
Powder created during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Product not for children
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
