1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.61
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- By using a reflective coating of gold, the element acquires an nice look,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
- Significant place in future technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, drive modules, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an polished touching surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Fire warning
Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Swallowing risk
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Immense force
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Bone fractures
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Safe distance
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Keep away from electronics
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
