1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.13
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.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- By covering with a lustrous coating of silver, the element acquires an modern look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of detailed modeling and adapting to precise conditions,
- Huge importance in future technologies – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience 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 rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Handling guide
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Demagnetization risk
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Magnet fragility
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Choking Hazard
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Health Danger
Patients with a pacemaker must maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Fire warning
Dust created during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
