1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 1.21
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 rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- 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 custom machining as well as optimizing to specific conditions,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Limitations
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- 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
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Danger to the youngest
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Handling rules
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Avoid contact if allergic
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.
Machining danger
Dust created during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Physical harm
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Magnet fragility
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Compass and GPS
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Thermal limits
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Cards and drives
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
