1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Strengths
- Their power remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- In other words, due to the reflective surface of silver, the element gains a professional look,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- 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...
- Possibility of precise machining as well as adapting to atypical applications,
- Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. 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 very resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- using a base made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- with total lack of distance (without impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Allergy Warning
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
No play value
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Impact on smartphones
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Life threat
Patients with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Caution required
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Mechanical processing
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
