1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits 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) = 0.71
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- In other words, due to the reflective layer of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate machining and optimizing to individual requirements,
- Huge importance in electronics industry – they find application in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its 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 and 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Allergy Warning
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Medical interference
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Keep away from computers
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Immense force
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Crushing force
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Danger to the youngest
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.
Thermal limits
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Mechanical processing
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
