1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces 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) = 0.46
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- Their power is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the shiny surface of gold, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains maximum,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the ability of precise forming and adaptation to specialized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Significant place in future technologies – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their 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 start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Caution required
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Bodily injuries
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Metal Allergy
It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact and choose encased magnets.
Life threat
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Magnets are brittle
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Danger to the youngest
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.
Magnetic media
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Dust is flammable
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
