1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.46
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.
Advantages
- They retain full power for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to opposing magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- In view of the possibility of free shaping and customization to custom needs, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they are utilized in data components, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- with zero gap (no coatings)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
This is not a toy
These products are not toys. Eating a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.
Allergic reactions
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Data carriers
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Shattering risk
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Crushing risk
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Mechanical processing
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Do not overheat magnets
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
GPS Danger
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Caution required
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Warning for heart patients
People with a ICD should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the implant.
