1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.89
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
Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- By applying a smooth coating of gold, the element presents an professional look,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of custom machining as well as optimizing to specific requirements,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Permanent damage
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Compass and GPS
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Physical harm
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Electronic hazard
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Protective goggles
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Machining danger
Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Metal Allergy
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.
Danger to the youngest
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.
Caution required
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Life threat
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
