1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically 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) = 0.48
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 and cons of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose magnetism, even during around ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- By applying a lustrous layer of silver, the element presents an elegant look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the ability of precise forming and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Key role in modern technologies – they find application in HDD drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- 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 increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very 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, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Danger to the youngest
Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Threat to electronics
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Magnet fragility
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Crushing risk
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Heat warning
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
GPS Danger
Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Implant safety
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Dust explosion hazard
Powder generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.
Immense force
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
