1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.59
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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- Their strength is durable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- In other words, due to the glossy layer of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the capacity to modify to unusual requirements,
- Significant place in modern technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
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.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Compass and GPS
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Keep away from children
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Implant safety
Patients with a heart stimulator should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Safe operation
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Eye protection
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Maximum temperature
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Metal Allergy
Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. It is best to use safety gloves.
Protect data
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
