1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.24
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.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even after approximately ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external fields,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnets possess exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- In view of the option of precise shaping and customization to custom needs, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Wide application in innovative solutions – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- with total lack of distance (no coatings)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Nickel coating and allergies
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Danger to the youngest
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.
Caution required
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Keep away from electronics
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Machining danger
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
