1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens 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) = 0.24
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- In view of the ability of accurate molding and adaptation to individualized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Disadvantages
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects 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 strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Implant safety
Individuals with a heart stimulator should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Heat warning
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Metal Allergy
Some people experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause dermatitis. We recommend wear protective gloves.
Eye protection
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
Keep away from children
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Conscious usage
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Combustion hazard
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Protect data
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
