1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.13
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their power is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an shiny coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains very high,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual machining as well as adjusting to individual requirements,
- Universal use in innovative solutions – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, medical devices, and modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Finger safety
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Beware of splinters
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Handling guide
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Warning for heart patients
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Choking Hazard
These products are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.
Flammability
Powder created during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Cards and drives
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Avoid contact if allergic
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for versions in plastic housing.
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
