1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.00
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 as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- Their power remains stable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- A magnet with a smooth silver surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnets are distinguished by impressive magnetic induction on the surface,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate machining as well as adjusting to defined applications,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they find application in hard drives, drive modules, medical devices, as well as other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest 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, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, 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 field
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- with total lack of distance (no paint)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- in neutral thermal conditions
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Magnets are brittle
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Precision electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Pinching danger
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Flammability
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Cards and drives
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
Product not for children
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Handling rules
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
Demagnetization risk
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
