1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens 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) = 0.46
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.

Other offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose magnetism, even after around ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- The use of an metallic coating 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 are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of exact machining as well as adjusting to atypical needs,
- Significant place in future technologies – they are commonly used in hard drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Limitations
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its 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.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Phone sensors
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Respect the power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Threat to electronics
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Pinching danger
Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Shattering risk
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
No play value
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
Fire warning
Dust created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Pacemakers
Individuals with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the implant.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
