1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.44
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
Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to opposing magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has an effective appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be strong,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the possibility of precise shaping and customization to individualized solutions, neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they serve a role in hard drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Handling rules
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
GPS Danger
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
Magnetic media
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Danger to pacemakers
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Swallowing risk
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Serious injuries
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Mechanical processing
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Nickel allergy
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.
Magnets are brittle
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
