1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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
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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to modify to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are used in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- 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.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process 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?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with zero gap (without paint)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Fire warning
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Protect data
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Medical implants
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Physical harm
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Phone sensors
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Allergy Warning
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.
Material brittleness
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
No play value
Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Safe operation
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.
Heat warning
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
