1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.31
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 and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They have constant strength, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- Thanks to the elegant finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- Magnets are characterized by maximum magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of precise creating as well as adapting to individual applications,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are used in HDD drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (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.
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Keep away from children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Safe operation
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Crushing risk
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Permanent damage
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Metal Allergy
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for encased magnets.
Life threat
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Threat to navigation
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Cards and drives
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
