1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly 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) = 1.31
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 have constant strength, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they serve a role in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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
- 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.
- We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- 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
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Do not overheat magnets
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Medical interference
Individuals with a pacemaker should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Allergy Warning
A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. We recommend wear safety gloves.
Swallowing risk
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Cards and drives
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Dust is flammable
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Pinching danger
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Precision electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Handling rules
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
