1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (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) = 0.20
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose power, even over approximately ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- In other words, due to the shiny layer of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the potential of free molding and adaptation to unique needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are used in data components, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Adults only
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Do not overheat magnets
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Shattering risk
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Magnetic media
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Fire risk
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Serious injuries
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.
Metal Allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
GPS Danger
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Warning for heart patients
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Handling guide
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
