1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.25
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 and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic gold surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains exceptional,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface free of scratches
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Do not overheat magnets
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.
No play value
Absolutely store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Material brittleness
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Danger to pacemakers
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Metal Allergy
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Cards and drives
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Finger safety
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Dust is flammable
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Respect the power
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
