1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.32
The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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 as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface looks better,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is maximum,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in constructing and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they find application in mass storage devices, electric motors, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- with total lack of distance (no impurities)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Fire risk
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Pinching danger
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Powerful field
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
This is not a toy
These products 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 immediate surgery.
GPS and phone interference
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Thermal limits
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Medical implants
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Allergy Warning
Certain individuals experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. We recommend use safety gloves.
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
