1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.25
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- In other words, due to the glossy surface of silver, the element gains visual value,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains maximum,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the potential of accurate forming and customization to unique needs, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in computer drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Skin irritation risks
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Hand protection
Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Magnet fragility
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Keep away from computers
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Health Danger
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
GPS Danger
GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Respect the power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
No play value
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Heat sensitivity
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.
