1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.35
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.
Advantages
- They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Magnets are characterized by very 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 shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Due to the potential of free shaping and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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 prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground contact surface
- with zero gap (no paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Do not give to children
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Heat warning
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Phone sensors
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Machining danger
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Life threat
Patients with a ICD should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
Handling rules
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
