1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even after nearly ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Due to the potential of precise molding and adaptation to custom needs, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they find application in data components, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Magnetic media
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Fire warning
Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Adults only
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.
Metal Allergy
A percentage of the population have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.
Danger to pacemakers
People with a heart stimulator should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Threat to navigation
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Material brittleness
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Thermal limits
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.
