1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.26
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even during nearly ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the smooth surface of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
- Magnets are characterized by huge magnetic induction on the surface,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of custom creating as well as modifying to defined requirements,
- Wide application in innovative solutions – they find application in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Cons
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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 while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at standard ambient temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Heat warning
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Handling rules
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Fire warning
Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Do not give to children
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
Protect data
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Nickel allergy
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and choose versions in plastic housing.
Pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
