1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.14
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the metallic layer of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed forming as well as adapting to concrete applications,
- Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they find application in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures 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 magnets 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 cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- with total lack of distance (no impurities)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Warnings
Skin irritation risks
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or select encased magnets.
Finger safety
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
GPS Danger
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Beware of splinters
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Do not drill into magnets
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Adults only
These products are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Electronic hazard
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Heat sensitivity
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Handling rules
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
