1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely 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) = 0.24
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- In other words, due to the smooth finish of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
- Key role in electronics industry – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products are able to complicate diagnosis 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
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many 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 converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Nickel allergy
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Respect the power
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Warning for heart patients
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
No play value
Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
Electronic hazard
Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Combustion hazard
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Finger safety
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Impact on smartphones
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
