1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59
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 neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose magnetism, even over approximately 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- By covering with a lustrous layer of gold, the element has an professional look,
- Magnets are distinguished by extremely high magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of exact modeling and optimizing to atypical needs,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in data components, electric motors, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Handling guide
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Threat to electronics
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Dust explosion hazard
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Impact on smartphones
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Skin irritation risks
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.
Adults only
Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Thermal limits
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
