1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces 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) = 0.89
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 and cons of neodymium magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose strength, even after around ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to customize to client solutions,
- Wide application in future technologies – they are commonly used in data components, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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 stability even at temperatures 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 immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Power loss in heat
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Magnets are brittle
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Handling rules
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Dust explosion hazard
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Bodily injuries
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
GPS Danger
An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Allergy Warning
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Adults only
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Pacemakers
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
