1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.44
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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even during approximately ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- In other words, due to the shiny finish of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed shaping as well as adjusting to specific needs,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Electronic hazard
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Sensitization to coating
A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. We suggest wear protective gloves.
Phone sensors
An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Safe operation
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Adults only
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Fire warning
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
Danger to pacemakers
Patients with a ICD have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
