1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 1.00
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 offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.
Strengths
- Their power remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
- In other words, due to the smooth finish of silver, the element gains a professional look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Finger safety
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Fire warning
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Nickel coating and allergies
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Protect data
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
ICD Warning
Individuals with a heart stimulator have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
This is not a toy
Always store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Permanent damage
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Caution required
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their force.
