1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46
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 have constant strength, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- The use of an elegant finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the capacity to customize to client solutions,
- Huge importance in electronics industry – they are commonly used in data components, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in 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?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Handling rules
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.
Crushing risk
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Adults only
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Medical interference
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Fire risk
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Protect data
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Impact on smartphones
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
