1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains exceptional,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual shaping and adjusting to specific needs,
- Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they are used in HDD drives, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Caution required
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Skin irritation risks
A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We recommend wear safety gloves.
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Do not overheat magnets
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Keep away from children
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Crushing force
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Eye protection
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Electronic hazard
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
