1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 1.13
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.

Other offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.
Advantages
- Their power is durable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is impressive,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of detailed forming as well as adjusting to concrete needs,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- 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 improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- with zero gap (no impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Metal Allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Dust is flammable
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Demagnetization risk
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Shattering risk
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Adults only
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Life threat
Patients with a heart stimulator must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Magnetic interference
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Handling rules
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
