1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnets are characterized by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Considering the option of free forming and customization to individualized requirements, magnetic components can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they are commonly used in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Fragile material
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Allergy Warning
Some people experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Machining danger
Dust generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Precision electronics
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Magnetic media
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
This is not a toy
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Handling guide
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.
