1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.22
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose power, even over nearly 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- In other words, due to the shiny finish of silver, the element gains a professional look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Allergy Warning
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.
Protect data
Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Warning for heart patients
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Fire warning
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Permanent damage
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Conscious usage
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Adults only
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
