1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, the safety limit 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
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- 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...
- Possibility of detailed creating as well as adjusting to concrete needs,
- Significant place in modern technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
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 shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- at temperature room level
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Serious injuries
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Do not overheat magnets
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Protect data
Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Choking Hazard
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.
Life threat
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Protective goggles
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.
Allergic reactions
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.
Caution required
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Dust explosion hazard
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Threat to navigation
A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
