1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.13
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly 10 years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
- Significant place in electronics industry – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electric motors, precision medical tools, also other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects 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.
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an polished contact surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Permanent damage
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Crushing risk
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Data carriers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. We recommend wear safety gloves.
Magnets are brittle
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Life threat
Individuals with a ICD must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Adults only
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.
Do not underestimate power
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
