1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.51
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose magnetism, even during nearly ten years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets are exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- By covering with a lustrous layer of nickel, the element gains an modern look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in constructing and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they are utilized in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose force 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 rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets 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
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface perfectly flat
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Allergy Warning
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Caution required
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Permanent damage
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.
Pacemakers
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Keep away from children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Mechanical processing
Powder generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Risk of cracking
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Hand protection
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Precision electronics
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Protect data
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
