1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically 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) = 0.26
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even after nearly 10 years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external fields,
- By using a shiny layer of silver, the element acquires an elegant look,
- Magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in HDD drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- NdFeB magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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 extremely resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Load vector – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Implant safety
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Do not underestimate power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Maximum temperature
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Bone fractures
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Sensitization to coating
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.
No play value
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Electronic hazard
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Mechanical processing
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
