1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose power, even during approximately ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Mechanical processing
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Magnets are brittle
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Do not overheat magnets
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Impact on smartphones
An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Threat to electronics
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
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.
Bone fractures
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Handling rules
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
No play value
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
