1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.52
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be extremely intense,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to modularity in shaping and the capacity to customize to complex applications,
- Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Cons
- 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 power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Physical harm
Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Data carriers
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Risk of cracking
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Adults only
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Dust is flammable
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Implant safety
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Magnetic interference
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Metal Allergy
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Immense force
Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Permanent damage
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
