1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.50
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to the possibility of flexible forming and adaptation to custom solutions, neodymium magnets can be produced in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Physical harm
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Choking Hazard
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Skin irritation risks
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Magnetic interference
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Life threat
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Safe operation
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Power loss in heat
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and strength.
Data carriers
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Shattering risk
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
