1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the safety 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- By using a reflective layer of gold, the element acquires an professional look,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to customize to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical equipment, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Do not overheat magnets
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Bodily injuries
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Immense force
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Keep away from electronics
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Swallowing risk
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store away from children and animals.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose encased magnets.
Combustion hazard
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
