1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of precise creating and adapting to complex conditions,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with total lack of distance (no coatings)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Precision electronics
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Medical interference
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Machining danger
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Danger to the youngest
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Magnets are brittle
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Crushing risk
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Do not underestimate power
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Electronic hazard
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Allergy Warning
Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.
Power loss in heat
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
