1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.71
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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Pros
- Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the ability of flexible forming and customization to unique solutions, neodymium magnets can be produced in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Material brittleness
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Respect the power
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Crushing risk
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Nickel coating and allergies
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Product not for children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Cards and drives
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Phone sensors
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
