1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the glossy surface of gold, the element looks attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- 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 versatility in constructing and the ability to modify to specific needs,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, brushless drives, medical devices, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Limitations
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Physical harm
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Shattering risk
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
Swallowing risk
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or choose versions in plastic housing.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Phone sensors
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Fire risk
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Powerful field
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Heat warning
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Health Danger
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
