1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.35
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
- The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to adapt to complex applications,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
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.
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- with direct contact (no coatings)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Bodily injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
Mechanical processing
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Swallowing risk
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Caution required
Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Impact on smartphones
Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Implant safety
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Cards and drives
Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Operating temperature
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Avoid contact if allergic
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
