1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the max working temp 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain full power for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
- A magnet with a smooth nickel surface is more attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate machining and adjusting to concrete applications,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are commonly used in hard drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Allergy Warning
A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in an allergic reaction. We suggest use safety gloves.
Combustion hazard
Powder created during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Serious injuries
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Safe operation
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Electronic devices
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
This is not a toy
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.
Risk of cracking
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
Impact on smartphones
Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
