1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external fields,
- In other words, due to the reflective surface of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnets are characterized by impressive magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of precise shaping and modifying to atypical applications,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they find application in data components, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Warnings
Electronic hazard
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Choking Hazard
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Precision electronics
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Fragile material
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Dust is flammable
Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.
Respect the power
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Crushing risk
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Health Danger
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
