1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, the safety 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the shiny layer of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to customize to complex applications,
- Significant place in modern technologies – they are used in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Handling guide
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Operating temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Warning for heart patients
Patients with a heart stimulator have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
Swallowing risk
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.
Avoid contact if allergic
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.
Protect data
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Fragile material
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
Crushing force
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Dust is flammable
Dust created during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Threat to navigation
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
