1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.89
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 neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the reflective surface of gold, the element becomes visually attractive,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by even structure
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Risk of cracking
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Crushing force
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Handling rules
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Danger to pacemakers
Patients with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Phone sensors
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Warning for allergy sufferers
A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
Fire risk
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Cards and drives
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Do not give to children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
