1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.21
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 and cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external fields,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface looks better,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is very high,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- In view of the potential of flexible forming and adaptation to custom needs, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Powerful field
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.
Hand protection
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Data carriers
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Phone sensors
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Machining danger
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Pacemakers
Individuals with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Product not for children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
