1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.13
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, electric motors, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with total lack of distance (without impurities)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Safe distance
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Implant safety
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Do not give to children
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Conscious usage
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Sensitization to coating
A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We recommend wear safety gloves.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Crushing risk
Large magnets can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Operating temperature
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Impact on smartphones
GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Fragile material
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
