1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically 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) = 0.89
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom machining as well as optimizing to specific needs,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 stability 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 stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane free of scratches
- with total lack of distance (no paint)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Keep away from children
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Precision electronics
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Medical interference
People with a pacemaker should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
Protective goggles
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Protect data
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Avoid contact if allergic
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.
Conscious usage
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
