1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.46
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 proposals
Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose magnetism, even over nearly 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of exact shaping and adjusting to individual needs,
- Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are commonly used in data components, brushless drives, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process 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
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in stable room temperature
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Load vector – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Bone fractures
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Sensitization to coating
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.
Dust explosion hazard
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Magnetic media
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Magnetic interference
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Choking Hazard
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Respect the power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Maximum temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.
