1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits 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) = 0.44
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 neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a smooth silver surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is maximum,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the potential of precise forming and adaptation to specialized projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they find application in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's 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 and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with total lack of distance (no impurities)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Eye protection
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Safe operation
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.
Avoid contact if allergic
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Flammability
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Crushing risk
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Threat to navigation
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Health Danger
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
