1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.50
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- In view of the possibility of accurate forming and adaptation to unique projects, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Key role in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, drive modules, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Limitations
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Fire risk
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Shattering risk
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Swallowing risk
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
GPS and phone interference
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Sensitization to coating
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and opt for encased magnets.
Serious injuries
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Respect the power
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Medical interference
Individuals with a heart stimulator have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
