1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.59
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.

Other proposals
Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- By applying a smooth coating of nickel, the element acquires an nice look,
- Magnets exhibit impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed creating and adjusting to specific requirements,
- Significant place in future technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- with direct contact (no coatings)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Steel thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Warnings
Pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Fire risk
Powder generated during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Metal Allergy
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Pinching danger
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.
Powerful field
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Keep away from electronics
An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Magnetic media
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Material brittleness
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
This is not a toy
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
