1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 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.

Other products
Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to customize to individual projects,
- Significant place in future technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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 stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at temperature room level
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually several 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 converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Threat to electronics
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Beware of splinters
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Finger safety
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
GPS and phone interference
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Fire risk
Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Thermal limits
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.
Caution required
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Skin irritation risks
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose versions in plastic housing.
Choking Hazard
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from kids and pets.
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
