1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26
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
Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They retain full power for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Magnets perfectly resist against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- 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...
- Possibility of exact forming and adjusting to defined conditions,
- Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are utilized in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Warnings
Handling rules
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Hand protection
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Medical implants
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Do not drill into magnets
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Adults only
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.
GPS and phone interference
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Permanent damage
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Skin irritation risks
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and opt for coated magnets.
Cards and drives
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Eye protection
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
