1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.35
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.
Pros
- They do not lose power, even during nearly 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has an effective appearance,
- Magnets are characterized by excellent magnetic induction on the working surface,
- 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 modeling as well as adjusting to complex needs,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, 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 strength. 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Swallowing risk
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Machining danger
Dust produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Health Danger
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Keep away from electronics
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Safe distance
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Operating temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Nickel coating and allergies
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.
