1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.19
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.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Neodymium magnets are remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the glossy finish of nickel, the element gains visual value,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to versatility in constructing and the ability to adapt to client solutions,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Warnings
Avoid contact if allergic
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Shattering risk
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
No play value
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.
Do not drill into magnets
Powder generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Caution required
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Precision electronics
A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Cards and drives
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Medical implants
Individuals with a ICD have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
