1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits 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) = 0.31
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external magnetic fields,
- By using a reflective layer of nickel, the element presents an nice look,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be strong,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the option of precise shaping and customization to custom solutions, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in data components, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting 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
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a surface perfectly flat
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Heat warning
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Electronic hazard
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Danger to pacemakers
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Bodily injuries
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
No play value
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
Immense force
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Keep away from electronics
Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Fragile material
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Skin irritation risks
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.
