1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.42
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.
Strengths
- Their power is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Considering the ability of flexible molding and adaptation to individualized projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- 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
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note 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 sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Bone fractures
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Magnets are brittle
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Maximum temperature
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Conscious usage
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Product not for children
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Sensitization to coating
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Warning for heart patients
People with a heart stimulator should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Dust explosion hazard
Powder generated during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
