1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly 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) = 0.42
The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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 neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of precise modeling and modifying to complex requirements,
- Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they find application in data components, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Do not give to children
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Fragile material
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Flammability
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Magnetic interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Nickel allergy
Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.
Safe distance
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Caution required
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Bodily injuries
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
