1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens 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
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 and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even during approximately 10 years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- By using a lustrous layer of silver, the element gains an proper look,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is impressive,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Respect the power
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Cards and drives
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Hand protection
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Fire risk
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Avoid contact if allergic
A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. It is best to wear safety gloves.
This is not a toy
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Do not overheat magnets
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
