1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.16
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.

Other offers
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnets possess extremely high magnetic induction on the surface,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to modify to specific needs,
- Universal use in innovative solutions – they serve a role in data components, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Disadvantages
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, 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 reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Warning for heart patients
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Risk of cracking
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Safe distance
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Impact on smartphones
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Immense force
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Danger to the youngest
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Physical harm
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Allergic reactions
A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in an allergic reaction. We suggest use safety gloves.
