1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.45
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They retain full power for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of silver, the element gains visual value,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate modeling and adjusting to atypical applications,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Caution required
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Choking Hazard
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Medical interference
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Metal Allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Flammability
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Impact on smartphones
An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
