1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces 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) = 0.66
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual machining as well as adapting to complex applications,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in data components, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Warnings
GPS Danger
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Skin irritation risks
Certain individuals have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in skin redness. It is best to wear safety gloves.
Demagnetization risk
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Danger to the youngest
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
Combustion hazard
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Immense force
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Serious injuries
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Electronic devices
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
