1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is very high,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the capacity to customize to client solutions,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend 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 those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ground touching surface
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Nickel coating and allergies
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.
Adults only
These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Cards and drives
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Mechanical processing
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Bone fractures
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
GPS Danger
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Beware of splinters
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Medical implants
Individuals with a pacemaker should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Respect the power
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Operating temperature
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.
