1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.89
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 rare earth magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- 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...
- Considering the option of free shaping and customization to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Wide application in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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 extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- with direct contact (without coatings)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Warning for allergy sufferers
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Protect data
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Serious injuries
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Compass and GPS
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Life threat
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Heat warning
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Danger to the youngest
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Combustion hazard
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Do not underestimate power
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
