1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29
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
Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Magnets perfectly defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of detailed creating as well as adjusting to atypical applications,
- Key role in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force 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).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
No play value
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Conscious usage
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Fire risk
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Pacemakers
Patients with a pacemaker must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Electronic hazard
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or opt for versions in plastic housing.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Crushing force
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
