1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.59
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 rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic finish of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of exact forming and adjusting to concrete applications,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they serve a role in computer drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- 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.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in 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?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- with zero gap (without paint)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Conscious usage
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Keep away from electronics
GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
No play value
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Machining danger
Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Avoid contact if allergic
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and choose coated magnets.
Crushing risk
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Maximum temperature
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
