1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.35
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They retain full power for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
- The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the ability of flexible shaping and adaptation to custom solutions, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Universal use in future technologies – they are used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- 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.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- with direct contact (no paint)
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Crushing force
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Heat sensitivity
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Do not underestimate power
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
ICD Warning
Patients with a ICD have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the implant.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Allergy Warning
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Keep away from children
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Impact on smartphones
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Fire warning
Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
