1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.37
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
- They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- By applying a lustrous layer of nickel, the element presents an professional look,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate shaping as well as adjusting to specific needs,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Conscious usage
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Metal Allergy
A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause dermatitis. We recommend wear protective gloves.
Bodily injuries
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
GPS Danger
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Danger to the youngest
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Mechanical processing
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
