1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.61
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 and cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose strength, even after approximately 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
- The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is maximum,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of detailed modeling as well as adapting to defined applications,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they serve a role in HDD drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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 corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground touching surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Immense force
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Operating temperature
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.
GPS Danger
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Nickel allergy
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and choose versions in plastic housing.
Combustion hazard
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Health Danger
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
This is not a toy
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
