1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.38
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 as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose power, even after around 10 years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in shaping and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in computer drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 very resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Implant safety
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Hand protection
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Combustion hazard
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Protect data
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Phone sensors
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Danger to the youngest
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Safe operation
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
