1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction 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) = 0.44
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.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the glossy surface of gold, the element looks attractive,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- 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...
- Possibility of exact modeling and adapting to specific applications,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they serve a role in HDD drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Electronic devices
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Hand protection
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Operating temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.
Medical implants
Individuals with a ICD should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
Magnets are brittle
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Conscious usage
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Impact on smartphones
A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Danger to the youngest
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.
Flammability
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and choose encased magnets.
