1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.26
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.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to opposing magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the elegant finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Significant place in future technologies – they find application in computer drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as 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 stability even at temperatures 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 immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at standard ambient temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- 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 maximum value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Shattering risk
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Heat warning
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
GPS Danger
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Crushing force
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.
Dust explosion hazard
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Magnetic media
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Safe operation
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Danger to the youngest
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.
Danger to pacemakers
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
