1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.48
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.

Other proposals
Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose power, even over nearly 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate forming and adjusting to defined needs,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- 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
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Warnings
Warning for allergy sufferers
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
Combustion hazard
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Hand protection
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.
Demagnetization risk
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Medical implants
People with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
Magnetic media
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
GPS and phone interference
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Material brittleness
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Handling rules
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.
Swallowing risk
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
