1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.44
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.

Other offers
Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the metallic surface of silver, the element gains a professional look,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- In view of the possibility of free shaping and adaptation to custom needs, magnetic components can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are utilized in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Danger to pacemakers
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Phone sensors
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Crushing force
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Electronic devices
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
This is not a toy
Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Handling rules
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Dust is flammable
Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Protective goggles
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
