1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.30
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external fields,
- A magnet with a metallic gold surface has an effective appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains strong,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Considering the option of accurate forming and customization to unique needs, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Wide application in innovative solutions – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Keep away from children
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in dermatitis. We recommend wear protective gloves.
Material brittleness
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Caution required
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Combustion hazard
Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Warning for heart patients
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Hand protection
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Demagnetization risk
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Protect data
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
