1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 1.38
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.
Pros
- They do not lose strength, even over around 10 years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Neodymium magnets are exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the potential of accurate molding and customization to unique projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. 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 suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Handling rules
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their force.
Protect data
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Risk of cracking
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Heat warning
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Do not give to children
These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Flammability
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Precision electronics
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Metal Allergy
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.
