1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 1.22
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 as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
- The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in designing and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Do not drill into magnets
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Skin irritation risks
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Danger to the youngest
These products are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Shattering risk
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Medical implants
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Handling rules
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Crushing risk
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
