1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits 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) = 1.21
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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even over approximately ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- A magnet with a smooth silver surface looks better,
- Magnets possess exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Due to the potential of accurate molding and customization to specialized projects, magnetic components can be produced in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they are utilized in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Disadvantages
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis 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 contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground touching surface
- with direct contact (no paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Warnings
Adults only
Always store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Pacemakers
People with a heart stimulator must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Thermal limits
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Nickel coating and allergies
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Phone sensors
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Handling rules
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Fire risk
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
