1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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 and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain full power for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- In view of the option of precise shaping and customization to individualized needs, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are utilized in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their 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 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
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Choking Hazard
These products are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Caution required
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Combustion hazard
Powder generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Operating temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.
Metal Allergy
A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
