1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.35
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.
Strengths
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Due to the possibility of accurate molding and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis 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
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage 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. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnet fragility
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Serious injuries
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Machining danger
Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
This is not a toy
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Powerful field
Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Cards and drives
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Sensitization to coating
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or choose versions in plastic housing.
