1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.14
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 as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
- Key role in future technologies – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
Product not for children
These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Pinching danger
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Magnetic media
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Safe operation
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Heat sensitivity
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Beware of splinters
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
GPS Danger
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
