1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens 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) = 1.21
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.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Magnets possess exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the surface,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of accurate machining and adapting to precise requirements,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are commonly used in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- with zero gap (no coatings)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Fire warning
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Danger to the youngest
These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Caution required
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Warning for heart patients
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Avoid contact if allergic
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Thermal limits
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
