1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces 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) = 0.19
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- By using a shiny layer of nickel, the element presents an elegant look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to modify to individual projects,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they find application in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- Brittleness 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 decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures 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 resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- with direct contact (no coatings)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Pinching danger
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.
Power loss in heat
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Dust explosion hazard
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Conscious usage
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Sensitization to coating
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or opt for encased magnets.
Adults only
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
