1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.20
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- Their power is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
- Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the active area,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to customize to client solutions,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they find application in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Plate thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Product not for children
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Keep away from computers
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
GPS and phone interference
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Danger to pacemakers
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Avoid contact if allergic
A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. It is best to wear safety gloves.
Handling guide
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Flammability
Dust created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
