1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits 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) = 0.35
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of exact machining and optimizing to complex requirements,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, electric motors, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest 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
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
GPS Danger
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Respect the power
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Fragile material
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Do not give to children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Combustion hazard
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Skin irritation risks
Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. It is best to use safety gloves.
Serious injuries
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
