1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21
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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an aesthetic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to customize to unusual requirements,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- with zero gap (no coatings)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Impact on smartphones
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Machining danger
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Threat to electronics
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Handling rules
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or select coated magnets.
Heat warning
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Product not for children
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
