1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.13
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 offers
Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- The use of an metallic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of detailed creating and optimizing to complex conditions,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in computer drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Impact on smartphones
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Skin irritation risks
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Life threat
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Product not for children
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Magnetic media
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Combustion hazard
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Safe operation
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
