1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, 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
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They retain full power for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- By using a shiny coating of nickel, the element gains an elegant look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Due to the option of free shaping and adaptation to specialized solutions, magnetic components can be modeled in a variety of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are utilized in data components, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with direct contact (without coatings)
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Handling rules
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Pinching danger
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
GPS Danger
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Do not give to children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Permanent damage
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals have a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
Life threat
People with a pacemaker have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.
