1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the plating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to modify to individual projects,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they are utilized in hard drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground contact surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Pinching danger
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Do not give to children
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Compass and GPS
A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Safe operation
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Implant safety
Patients with a ICD should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Dust explosion hazard
Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Demagnetization risk
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Metal Allergy
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
