1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically 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) = 0.26
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
Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- Their strength remains stable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains maximum,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of precise creating and adapting to complex requirements,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they find application in hard drives, brushless drives, medical devices, and modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest 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.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Do not drill into magnets
Dust generated during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Life threat
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Bodily injuries
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Adults only
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Caution required
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Cards and drives
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Nickel coating and allergies
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or choose coated magnets.
Threat to navigation
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Permanent damage
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
