1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 1.13
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.
Advantages
- They do not lose magnetism, even over approximately ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of accurate machining and adapting to specific needs,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics 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 affects it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground contact surface
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Operating temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Life threat
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Nickel coating and allergies
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Fragile material
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Physical harm
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Flammability
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Product not for children
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
