1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 1.13
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.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- Thanks to the elegant finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the option of free shaping and customization to unique projects, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Universal use in innovative solutions – they find application in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at ambient temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Permanent damage
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Health Danger
Individuals with a ICD must maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
GPS Danger
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Physical harm
Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Handling rules
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Avoid contact if allergic
Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.
Material brittleness
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Electronic devices
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Adults only
Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Do not drill into magnets
Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
