1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens 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) = 0.35
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.
Benefits
- They do not lose power, even during around ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- The use of an refined layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Magnets are characterized by excellent magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom forming as well as adjusting to individual needs,
- Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Product not for children
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.
GPS and phone interference
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Magnetic media
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Fragile material
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Implant safety
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Avoid contact if allergic
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.
Do not underestimate power
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Flammability
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Crushing force
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
