1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- By applying a reflective layer of gold, the element acquires an professional look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they find application in data components, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves 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 force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ground touching surface
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Warnings
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Cards and drives
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Do not give to children
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Life threat
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Metal Allergy
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Mechanical processing
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Protective goggles
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Immense force
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
