1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.13
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.

Other offers
Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- By covering with a shiny coating of nickel, the element acquires an professional look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the ability of flexible molding and customization to custom needs, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are used in computer drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and 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 corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Angle of force application – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Combustion hazard
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Maximum temperature
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Safe operation
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and respect their force.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Compass and GPS
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Keep away from computers
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Bodily injuries
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Allergy Warning
Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to a rash. We suggest wear protective gloves.
Danger to the youngest
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
