1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.19
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.

Other proposals
Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even over nearly 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
- By applying a decorative coating of gold, the element has an nice look,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Due to the ability of free shaping and adaptation to individualized projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they find application in data components, drive modules, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 very resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Metal Allergy
A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. It is best to use protective gloves.
Do not overheat magnets
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Physical harm
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Adults only
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Powerful field
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.
Cards and drives
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Magnetic interference
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Medical implants
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Machining danger
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
