1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly 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) = 0.43
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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a smooth silver surface looks better,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the potential of precise shaping and adaptation to specialized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- with direct contact (without coatings)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Bodily injuries
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Operating temperature
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Flammability
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Sensitization to coating
A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. We suggest wear protective gloves.
Do not underestimate power
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.
Product not for children
Always keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Electronic hazard
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
