1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.79
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They have constant strength, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- By applying a decorative coating of nickel, the element has an modern look,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- 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...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to adapt to complex applications,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis 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 holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface free of scratches
- with direct contact (no coatings)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Data carriers
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Implant safety
People with a ICD must maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Choking Hazard
Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Allergic reactions
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
GPS Danger
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Mechanical processing
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Immense force
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.
