1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely 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) = 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- By applying a smooth layer of gold, the element gains an proper look,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely 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...
- Possibility of custom creating as well as adapting to specific conditions,
- Significant place in modern technologies – they serve a role in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Plate thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Mechanical processing
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Fragile material
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Serious injuries
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Heat warning
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Sensitization to coating
Some people have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. We suggest wear protective gloves.
Respect the power
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Swallowing risk
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Compass and GPS
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
ICD Warning
People with a heart stimulator should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
