1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC 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) = 0.24
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 as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
- Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, also multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to 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
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Safe distance
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Flammability
Powder generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Sensitization to coating
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Impact on smartphones
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Pinching danger
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Respect the power
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Material brittleness
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Warning for heart patients
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Product not for children
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
