1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.19
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 products
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
- Magnets have very high magnetic induction on the active area,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the ability to customize to specific needs,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they are used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- 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
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with direct contact (no paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Hand protection
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Maximum temperature
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Swallowing risk
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Skin irritation risks
A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in skin redness. We recommend use protective gloves.
Caution required
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Dust is flammable
Dust generated during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Life threat
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Safe distance
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
