1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.29
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.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- In other words, due to the metallic finish of gold, the element looks attractive,
- Magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- In view of the option of free shaping and adaptation to unique projects, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Significant place in high-tech industry – they are utilized in data components, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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 oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- with total lack of distance (no paint)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Demagnetization risk
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Threat to electronics
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Serious injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Do not underestimate power
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Keep away from electronics
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Nickel allergy
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
This is not a toy
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
