1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.
Pros
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
- By covering with a reflective coating of nickel, the element gains an proper look,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the ability of accurate forming and adaptation to specialized projects, magnetic components can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Key role in electronics industry – they are used in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components 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
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- with direct contact (without coatings)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Magnets are brittle
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Immense force
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Threat to navigation
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
Keep away from computers
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Do not give to children
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.
Nickel coating and allergies
A percentage of the population experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We suggest use protective gloves.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Mechanical processing
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Operating temperature
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Implant safety
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
