1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.38
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.

Other proposals
Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their strength remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface has an effective appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is extremely intense,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Considering the potential of flexible molding and adaptation to individualized projects, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they find application in HDD drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, and other advanced devices.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- 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 secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- with total lack of distance (without impurities)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- in stable room temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Choking Hazard
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Magnet fragility
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Allergy Warning
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Heat warning
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Combustion hazard
Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Physical harm
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Keep away from computers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Handling guide
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Life threat
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
