1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer 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) = 0.38
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.
Advantages
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be very high,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of custom shaping as well as optimizing to atypical requirements,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are utilized in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (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 very resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. 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,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Bone fractures
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.
Threat to electronics
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Eye protection
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Metal Allergy
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Choking Hazard
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
GPS and phone interference
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Machining danger
Powder created during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Handling rules
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
