1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.38
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 and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Magnets have extremely high magnetic induction on the surface,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the possibility of flexible forming and customization to unique solutions, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Significant place in future technologies – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can break, 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 their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures 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
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
No play value
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Danger to pacemakers
Patients with a pacemaker must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Impact on smartphones
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Pinching danger
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Maximum temperature
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Electronic hazard
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Flammability
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Immense force
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Fragile material
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Warning for allergy sufferers
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.
