1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits 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) = 0.74
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.
Strengths
- They retain full power for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- By using a reflective coating of silver, the element acquires an elegant look,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to modify to complex applications,
- Universal use in innovative solutions – they are used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Electronic hazard
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Serious injuries
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Pacemakers
Individuals with a ICD have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Do not give to children
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for encased magnets.
Flammability
Dust created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Maximum temperature
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.
Safe operation
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
