1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.35
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.
Pros
- They have constant strength, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the option of free shaping and adaptation to custom solutions, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane free of scratches
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Warning for heart patients
People with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Immense force
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Nickel allergy
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Maximum temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Precision electronics
A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Cards and drives
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Do not drill into magnets
Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Material brittleness
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
This is not a toy
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
