1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, 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.

Other offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose strength, even after around ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Magnets very well protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of nickel, gold, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of precise forming and optimizing to concrete requirements,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting 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 strength. 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, 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 surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Phone sensors
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Nickel allergy
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Keep away from children
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.
Safe operation
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Beware of splinters
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Mechanical processing
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Pacemakers
People with a pacemaker should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
Heat warning
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Finger safety
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
