1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer 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) = 0.13
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 as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even after around 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
- In other words, due to the shiny layer of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- They feature 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 shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of custom shaping and adapting to individual needs,
- Wide application in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in hard drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 very resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- with direct contact (without impurities)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- 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 maximum value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Metal Allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Eye protection
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Life threat
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
GPS and phone interference
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Hand protection
Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
This is not a toy
Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Machining danger
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Handling guide
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
