1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, 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.

Other offers
Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- Their power is durable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
- The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Magnets are distinguished by extremely high magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom modeling as well as modifying to concrete applications,
- Key role in electronics industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and 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
- 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 as well as corrosion.
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- with direct contact (no paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Steel thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Immense force
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Thermal limits
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Beware of splinters
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Fire risk
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Safe distance
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Magnetic interference
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Pacemakers
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Skin irritation risks
Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.
This is not a toy
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.
