1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.13
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.
Benefits
- Their power remains stable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains very high,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the option of precise molding and adaptation to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- 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 secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with total lack of distance (no impurities)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Warnings
Physical harm
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Adults only
These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Handling guide
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.
Mechanical processing
Powder produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Nickel allergy
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Do not overheat magnets
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Beware of splinters
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Danger to pacemakers
Patients with a heart stimulator must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Safe distance
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
