1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their power remains stable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- By covering with a reflective coating of gold, the element gains an elegant look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the potential of precise forming and customization to specialized needs, neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Medical implants
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Product not for children
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Fire risk
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Immense force
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Protective goggles
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Skin irritation risks
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.
Keep away from electronics
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
Electronic hazard
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
