1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits 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) = 0.14
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They have constant strength, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface has better aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- 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...
- Possibility of custom machining as well as modifying to atypical requirements,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Heat warning
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Crushing risk
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Dust is flammable
Powder created during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Nickel coating and allergies
A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We recommend use protective gloves.
Do not give to children
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.
Safe operation
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Data carriers
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
GPS Danger
An intense magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
