1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.46
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has an effective appearance,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they are utilized in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Power loss in heat
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Life threat
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Fire warning
Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Nickel coating and allergies
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.
Conscious usage
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
No play value
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
