1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.52
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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an modern appearance,
- Magnets exhibit impressive magnetic induction on the working surface,
- 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 flexibility in designing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
- Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they are utilized in data components, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- 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 - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with zero gap (without paint)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Warning for heart patients
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Mechanical processing
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Allergy Warning
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Protect data
Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Hand protection
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Caution required
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Operating temperature
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Keep away from children
Always store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
