1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44
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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even during nearly 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- In other words, due to the glossy layer of silver, the element looks attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of precise machining and adapting to atypical conditions,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in data components, electric motors, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience 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 stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Life threat
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Material brittleness
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Conscious usage
Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Allergic reactions
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Permanent damage
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
No play value
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Machining danger
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
