1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.31
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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even after around ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed modeling and modifying to complex requirements,
- Wide application in high-tech industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Hand protection
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Skin irritation risks
Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in skin redness. It is best to use protective gloves.
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
No play value
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Beware of splinters
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Do not underestimate power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Threat to electronics
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Maximum temperature
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Fire warning
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
