1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44
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.

Other offers
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external fields,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the ability of precise shaping and customization to unique needs, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with direct contact (without paint)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Nickel coating and allergies
A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Data carriers
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Keep away from children
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Protective goggles
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Immense force
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Implant safety
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Combustion hazard
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
