Factors Affecting Magnetic Strength

Actual magnetic performance depends on several factors.

Material Thickness

Thin steel surfaces may not provide the same magnetic holding performance as sufficiently thick steel.

Surface Condition

Paint, rust, coatings and surface contamination can reduce magnetic attraction.

Air Gaps

Even small gaps between the magnet and steel can significantly reduce holding force.

Load Direction

Direct perpendicular pull performance differs from sideways or shear loading.

Contact Area

Uneven or curved surfaces may reduce effective magnetic contact.

Operating Temperature

Excessive heat can reduce magnetic performance and may cause permanent demagnetisation.

The magnet should be tested under actual operating conditions before being relied upon for a specific application.
