1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.21
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 do not lose power, even after nearly ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to modify to unusual requirements,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are used in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves 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, as well as 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Protective goggles
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Crushing force
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Do not drill into magnets
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to a rash. We recommend wear safety gloves.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Adults only
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
GPS Danger
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Conscious usage
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Maximum temperature
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Danger to pacemakers
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
