1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.42
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 as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- Magnets possess very high magnetic induction on the surface,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of exact creating as well as adjusting to complex conditions,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- with zero gap (without paint)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause an allergic reaction. We suggest use protective gloves.
Medical interference
People with a pacemaker have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Do not underestimate power
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Power loss in heat
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Do not drill into magnets
Dust created during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Serious injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Do not give to children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Safe distance
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Material brittleness
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
