1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.35
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their power remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- In other words, due to the shiny layer of nickel, the element gains visual value,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to modify to complex applications,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Risk of cracking
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Immense force
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Electronic devices
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
GPS Danger
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Life threat
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Fire risk
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Bone fractures
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
This is not a toy
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Some people have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause dermatitis. It is best to use safety gloves.
