1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.43
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.

Other offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their power remains stable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- Magnets are distinguished by excellent magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to versatility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with total lack of distance (no paint)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Impact on smartphones
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Pinching danger
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Heat warning
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Do not underestimate power
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Data carriers
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Nickel coating and allergies
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Choking Hazard
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.
