1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.84
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- A magnet with a shiny nickel surface is more attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of custom shaping and modifying to complex needs,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 extremely resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- with zero gap (without paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at standard ambient temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Handling guide
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Combustion hazard
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Operating temperature
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Choking Hazard
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Avoid contact if allergic
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.
Physical harm
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
