1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.74
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 as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate creating as well as optimizing to complex needs,
- Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price 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?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with total lack of distance (no impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Combustion hazard
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Danger to the youngest
These products are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Handling rules
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Allergic reactions
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Protective goggles
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
Pinching danger
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Keep away from electronics
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Health Danger
Patients with a heart stimulator have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
