1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits 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) = 0.79
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 as well as cons of rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of exact forming as well as adjusting to complex applications,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Heat sensitivity
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Do not underestimate power
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Protective goggles
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Sensitization to coating
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Electronic devices
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Fire warning
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Keep away from children
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Threat to navigation
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Implant safety
Individuals with a pacemaker must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Bodily injuries
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
