1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.46
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.

Other deals
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They retain full power for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the ability of flexible shaping and adaptation to specialized projects, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnetic interference
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Heat sensitivity
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Handling guide
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Implant safety
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.
Eye protection
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Choking Hazard
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Fire risk
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Threat to electronics
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
