1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.31
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.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to versatility in constructing and the ability to modify to unusual requirements,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they find application in data components, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. 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
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Medical interference
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Allergic reactions
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Danger to the youngest
These products are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Combustion hazard
Powder generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Precision electronics
Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Handling rules
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
