1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.74
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 neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They retain full power for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual modeling and adjusting to defined needs,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- 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.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Metal Allergy
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or choose encased magnets.
Flammability
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Safe operation
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Danger to the youngest
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Material brittleness
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Demagnetization risk
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Hand protection
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Threat to electronics
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Implant safety
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
