1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.20
The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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 offers
Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They have constant strength, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- In other words, due to the metallic finish of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the option of flexible forming and adaptation to custom solutions, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they serve a role in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, as well as other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and 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 power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Physical harm
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Machining danger
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Danger to the youngest
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
Threat to electronics
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Respect the power
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Do not overheat magnets
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Skin irritation risks
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or opt for encased magnets.
Impact on smartphones
Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Magnets are brittle
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
