1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.30
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties when exposed to external magnetic sources,
- By using a lustrous coating of silver, the element presents an professional look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the ability of free shaping and customization to unique projects, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in computer drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their power 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 durability 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 prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ground touching surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in neutral thermal conditions
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Keep away from computers
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Caution required
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Magnets are brittle
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Keep away from electronics
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Choking Hazard
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Medical interference
Individuals with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
