1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens 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.

Other offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain full power for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- In other words, due to the glossy finish of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
- Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical devices, also modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Hand protection
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Avoid contact if allergic
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or choose encased magnets.
ICD Warning
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Dust is flammable
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Powerful field
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Swallowing risk
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Electronic devices
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
