1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, 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.
Strengths
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Considering the option of precise forming and adaptation to specialized requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Universal use in modern technologies – they are commonly used in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Skin irritation risks
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Phone sensors
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Power loss in heat
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Serious injuries
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Do not underestimate power
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Dust is flammable
Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Magnets are brittle
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Life threat
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Magnetic media
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
No play value
These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
