1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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
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.

Other proposals
Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose magnetism, even after nearly 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
- By covering with a lustrous coating of silver, the element presents an elegant look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the potential of accurate molding and customization to unique solutions, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Key role in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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 prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- using a base made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Metal Allergy
Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We suggest use protective gloves.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Hand protection
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Pacemakers
Patients with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.
This is not a toy
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Flammability
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Powerful field
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
