1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.21
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.

Other offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has an effective appearance,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- In view of the possibility of accurate shaping and customization to unique needs, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Wide application in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- 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 and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Powerful field
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Risk of cracking
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Serious injuries
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Demagnetization risk
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Allergic reactions
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or choose encased magnets.
Flammability
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
ICD Warning
Individuals with a pacemaker should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Keep away from computers
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
No play value
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
