1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits 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) = 0.12
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 as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by magnetic disturbances,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they find application in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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 start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Combustion hazard
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Respect the power
Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Product not for children
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Thermal limits
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Protect data
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Avoid contact if allergic
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or select encased magnets.
