1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces 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) = 1.14
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element looks attractive,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they find application in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- with direct contact (without impurities)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation
Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Warning for heart patients
Individuals with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Eye protection
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Dust explosion hazard
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Data carriers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Handling rules
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Nickel coating and allergies
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Choking Hazard
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
