1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59
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 rare earth magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Considering the ability of accurate shaping and adaptation to custom requirements, magnetic components can be modeled in a variety of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Key role in advanced technology sectors – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose power 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 extremely resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Warnings
Maximum temperature
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Powerful field
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Dust is flammable
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Avoid contact if allergic
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Beware of splinters
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
Hand protection
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
ICD Warning
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
No play value
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
