1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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
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 and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains maximum,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to versatility in shaping and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Data carriers
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Crushing force
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause dermatitis. We suggest use protective gloves.
Health Danger
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
No play value
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Fire risk
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Respect the power
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
