1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.35
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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their strength is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to opposing magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
- Magnets exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the surface,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate machining and modifying to specific requirements,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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 extremely resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Magnetic interference
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Nickel coating and allergies
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.
Fire risk
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Swallowing risk
Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Warning for heart patients
People with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Protective goggles
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Crushing force
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Do not overheat magnets
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Keep away from computers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Caution required
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
