1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44
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.

Other proposals
Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- In other words, due to the shiny layer of gold, the element gains a professional look,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
- Significant place in electronics industry – they find application in computer drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- using a base made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Caution required
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Cards and drives
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Bone fractures
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Dust explosion hazard
Dust generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Fragile material
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Medical implants
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Allergic reactions
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Maximum temperature
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Product not for children
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.
