1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces 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) = 0.51
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
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- In other words, due to the reflective surface of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnets are distinguished by excellent magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
- Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they find application in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to 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
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- using a base made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Allergy Warning
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Do not drill into magnets
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Health Danger
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Eye protection
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Swallowing risk
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Do not overheat magnets
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Threat to navigation
A strong magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Respect the power
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Safe distance
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
