1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically 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) = 0.89
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.
Strengths
- They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnets are characterized by impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- In view of the potential of flexible forming and customization to custom needs, NdFeB magnets can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Universal use in innovative solutions – they are used in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- with direct contact (without coatings)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force 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 – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Medical implants
Patients with a ICD have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Dust is flammable
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Keep away from computers
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Impact on smartphones
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Metal Allergy
Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. We suggest use protective gloves.
Serious injuries
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Swallowing risk
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Caution required
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.
