1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.50
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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.
Benefits
- They retain full power for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- In other words, due to the metallic layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom forming and modifying to concrete requirements,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Warning for heart patients
People with a pacemaker should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the implant.
Dust explosion hazard
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Danger to the youngest
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Caution required
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Keep away from electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Maximum temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Finger safety
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Nickel coating and allergies
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Cards and drives
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
