1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the safety 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 and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They retain attractive force for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful 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 precise forming and modifying to concrete applications,
- Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- with zero gap (no paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Direction of force – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Heat warning
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Dust is flammable
Powder created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
GPS Danger
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Allergic reactions
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
This is not a toy
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.
ICD Warning
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
