1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, 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
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external interference,
- The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is extremely intense,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Considering the option of accurate shaping and customization to custom requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a variety of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Serious injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Data carriers
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Do not underestimate power
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Demagnetization risk
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Nickel coating and allergies
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact and opt for coated magnets.
Life threat
Individuals with a pacemaker must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
Mechanical processing
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Precision electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Do not give to children
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
