1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface has an effective appearance,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom modeling as well as optimizing to atypical needs,
- Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in data components, electric motors, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface perfectly flat
- with direct contact (without impurities)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Medical implants
Patients with a heart stimulator have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Product not for children
Strictly store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Metal Allergy
Certain individuals experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.
Protective goggles
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Electronic hazard
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Powerful field
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Power loss in heat
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
Impact on smartphones
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Flammability
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Crushing force
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
