1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.22
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even during around ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- In other words, due to the metallic finish of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Due to the potential of free forming and customization to specialized requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest 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 magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
No play value
Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Nickel coating and allergies
Certain individuals experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We recommend use safety gloves.
Protect data
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Flammability
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Immense force
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Fragile material
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
Keep away from electronics
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
