1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.35
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to adapt to complex applications,
- Huge importance in future technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Keep away from computers
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Magnets are brittle
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
No play value
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Conscious usage
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Flammability
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Warning for allergy sufferers
Certain individuals have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Pacemakers
Individuals with a ICD should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
