1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.44
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 neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose power, even during nearly 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
- The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- In view of the ability of flexible molding and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Key role in electronics industry – they are commonly used in HDD drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground contact surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
GPS Danger
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Cards and drives
Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Keep away from children
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Mechanical processing
Dust produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Do not overheat magnets
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Protective goggles
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Hand protection
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
