1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.14
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
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the possibility of accurate molding and customization to specialized requirements, magnetic components can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, drive modules, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- 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 power 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 very resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Do not overheat magnets
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Keep away from electronics
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Avoid contact if allergic
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact and select coated magnets.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
ICD Warning
Individuals with a heart stimulator have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Bodily injuries
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Mechanical processing
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Handling guide
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
This is not a toy
These products are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
