1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens 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) = 0.31
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.
Strengths
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a smooth silver surface looks better,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains maximum,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of individual forming as well as adapting to atypical requirements,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they are utilized in hard drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. 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
- 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 as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface free of scratches
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), as even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Danger to pacemakers
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Nickel coating and allergies
Some people have a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. It is best to wear protective gloves.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Fragile material
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
This is not a toy
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Threat to electronics
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Magnetic interference
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
Fire warning
Dust created during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
