1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.62
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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- Their power is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- Thanks to the reflective finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnets exhibit exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the active area,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in shaping and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as 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 usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Avoid contact if allergic
A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. We suggest wear safety gloves.
GPS and phone interference
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Operating temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Crushing force
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.
Warning for heart patients
Patients with a heart stimulator have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
Flammability
Powder created during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Threat to electronics
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
No play value
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.
Respect the power
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
