1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the critical 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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even over approximately 10 years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface looks better,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of custom modeling and modifying to defined needs,
- Significant place in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in data components, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Limitations
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- with zero gap (without paint)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Caution required
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Eye protection
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.
Medical implants
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Keep away from computers
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Keep away from children
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Allergy Warning
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and choose coated magnets.
Physical harm
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Demagnetization risk
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
Fire warning
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
