1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces 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) = 0.66
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 neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose strength, even over around ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- By using a smooth layer of nickel, the element acquires an modern look,
- Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Due to the potential of free forming and adaptation to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Universal use in modern technologies – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their force 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Respect the power
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Keep away from computers
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Life threat
People with a heart stimulator must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. We suggest use protective gloves.
Swallowing risk
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Combustion hazard
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
GPS Danger
A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
