1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, 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
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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is maximum,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Considering the option of free forming and adaptation to specialized requirements, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, medical devices, also modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to 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 can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane free of scratches
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Warning for heart patients
People with a pacemaker have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Nickel coating and allergies
Some people suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use protective gloves.
Precision electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Serious injuries
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Material brittleness
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Power loss in heat
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.
Safe operation
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Cards and drives
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Dust is flammable
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Danger to the youngest
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
