1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens 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) = 0.54
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 and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- By covering with a shiny layer of gold, the element gains an elegant look,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with direct contact (without paint)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Swallowing risk
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Dust is flammable
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Magnetic media
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Danger to pacemakers
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Shattering risk
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Do not underestimate power
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in a rash. We suggest wear safety gloves.
Do not overheat magnets
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Phone sensors
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
