1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.46
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
Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external fields,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- In view of the possibility of flexible shaping and customization to individualized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 extremely resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Crushing risk
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Beware of splinters
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Magnetic interference
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Dust is flammable
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Adults only
Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Handling guide
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Permanent damage
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Warning for allergy sufferers
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select encased magnets.
Electronic hazard
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
