1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose strength, even after nearly 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
- In other words, due to the reflective layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of custom forming and adapting to precise requirements,
- Significant place in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, electric motors, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- with zero gap (no impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Beware of splinters
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Nickel allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Maximum temperature
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Fire warning
Powder created during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Do not give to children
Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Medical implants
Individuals with a heart stimulator should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.
Data carriers
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Pinching danger
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
GPS and phone interference
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Respect the power
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
