1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits 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) = 0.23
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
Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even over around ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Due to the ability of free shaping and adaptation to individualized needs, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 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, when using outdoors
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Bone fractures
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Phone sensors
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.
Life threat
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Product not for children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Power loss in heat
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Eye protection
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
Machining danger
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Nickel allergy
Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or select encased magnets.
Respect the power
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Safe distance
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
