1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.43
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.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- A magnet with a metallic gold surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains maximum,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- In view of the ability of free molding and customization to unique projects, magnetic components can be produced in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric motors, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force 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 attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
Threat to electronics
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Fire warning
Powder produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Nickel coating and allergies
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Life threat
People with a ICD should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Thermal limits
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Do not give to children
Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Safe operation
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
