1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.43
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose strength, even after nearly ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of exact shaping as well as adapting to complex requirements,
- Key role in modern technologies – they serve a role in data components, brushless drives, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Brittleness 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 experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with zero gap (without paint)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Handling guide
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Swallowing risk
These products are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Medical implants
Individuals with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Electronic hazard
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Material brittleness
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
