1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets remain exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is strong,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the ability to modify to client solutions,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
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.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Swallowing risk
Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Handling rules
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Thermal limits
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Medical interference
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Sensitization to coating
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.
GPS Danger
A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Crushing force
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Fragile material
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Machining danger
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
