1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.10
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.

Other deals
Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their strength is durable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to the potential of precise shaping and adaptation to unique requirements, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- with direct contact (without coatings)
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Compass and GPS
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Thermal limits
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and strength.
Finger safety
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Handling rules
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Nickel allergy
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for coated magnets.
Keep away from children
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Medical implants
Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Mechanical processing
Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
