1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.37
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.

Other offers
Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- In view of the potential of flexible forming and customization to individualized needs, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Significant place in modern industrial fields – they find application in data components, drive modules, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- 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 increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Cards and drives
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Adults only
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Nickel coating and allergies
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Serious injuries
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Handling guide
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Dust explosion hazard
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
