1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.68
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
Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains strong,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom forming and adapting to individual needs,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose 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 corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – note 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.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Do not underestimate power
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Fire risk
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Heat sensitivity
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Safe distance
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Danger to the youngest
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Life threat
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Allergic reactions
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.
