1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21
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.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even over around ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- 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...
- In view of the possibility of precise forming and adaptation to custom needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to 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
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- with direct contact (no impurities)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Respect the power
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Dust is flammable
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
ICD Warning
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Nickel allergy
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and select coated magnets.
Precision electronics
Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Adults only
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Electronic hazard
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Heat sensitivity
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
