1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.31
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 rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They retain magnetic properties for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
- In other words, due to the metallic layer of gold, the element looks attractive,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in HDD drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Permanent damage
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Fire risk
Powder created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Handling guide
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Nickel allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Keep away from computers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Eye protection
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Swallowing risk
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Compass and GPS
A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Hand protection
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.
