1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.48
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- In other words, due to the glossy layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed shaping as well as modifying to specific conditions,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical devices, also multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can 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
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
No play value
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Physical harm
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Dust explosion hazard
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Safe distance
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Beware of splinters
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Do not underestimate power
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Compass and GPS
A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Nickel coating and allergies
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
