1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, 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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an clean appearance,
- Magnets have excellent magnetic induction on the active area,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to customize to specific needs,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they find application in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, and modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Disadvantages
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
GPS and phone interference
Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Life threat
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Fire risk
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Safe distance
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Conscious usage
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Nickel coating and allergies
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Operating temperature
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Beware of splinters
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Physical harm
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Product not for children
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.
