1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.74
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external magnetic sources,
- The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is impressive,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Due to the potential of flexible molding and customization to specialized projects, NdFeB magnets can be created in a variety of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in a rash. We suggest wear safety gloves.
Keep away from electronics
Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Dust is flammable
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Pacemakers
Individuals with a pacemaker should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
Do not overheat magnets
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Finger safety
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Handling guide
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Keep away from children
Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
