1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.43
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They retain full power for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- By covering with a lustrous coating of silver, the element presents an nice look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom forming and optimizing to atypical requirements,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, and complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Serious injuries
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Product not for children
These products are not intended for children. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Compass and GPS
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Magnet fragility
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
Thermal limits
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.
Metal Allergy
A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in skin redness. We suggest use protective gloves.
Immense force
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Mechanical processing
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
