1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose power, even over around 10 years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- By applying a smooth coating of nickel, the element presents an proper look,
- Magnets exhibit impressive magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of detailed forming and optimizing to concrete conditions,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are utilized in HDD drives, electric motors, medical devices, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?
- using a base made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Do not overheat magnets
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Skin irritation risks
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
GPS and phone interference
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Pacemakers
Patients with a ICD must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Caution required
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Swallowing risk
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.
Fire risk
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
