1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.
Advantages
- They retain attractive force for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external fields,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
- Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in hard drives, brushless drives, medical devices, also modern systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface perfectly flat
- with direct contact (without paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
No play value
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Bone fractures
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Magnet fragility
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Medical implants
People with a pacemaker should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Keep away from computers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Precision electronics
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Demagnetization risk
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Dust explosion hazard
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose versions in plastic housing.
Immense force
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
