1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even over approximately ten years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the metallic layer of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to customize to complex applications,
- Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in HDD drives, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
This is not a toy
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
Permanent damage
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
GPS Danger
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Metal Allergy
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Crushing risk
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Pacemakers
Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Material brittleness
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Flammability
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Data carriers
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Do not underestimate power
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
