1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.19
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.

Other offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
- 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...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they serve a role in computer drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Health Danger
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Crushing force
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.
Metal Allergy
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.
Mechanical processing
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Phone sensors
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Safe distance
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Handling guide
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Heat warning
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Adults only
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
