1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.20
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.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
- By covering with a shiny coating of nickel, the element acquires an modern look,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed modeling as well as optimizing to individual needs,
- Key role in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- 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 a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Health Danger
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Dust explosion hazard
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Keep away from children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Magnetic media
Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Powerful field
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Nickel coating and allergies
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or select encased magnets.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Bodily injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
