1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They retain full power for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- By covering with a lustrous layer of silver, the element gains an professional look,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical devices, and modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Warnings
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Keep away from electronics
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Do not overheat magnets
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Magnet fragility
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Pinching danger
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.
Cards and drives
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Dust is flammable
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Choking Hazard
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
