1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.40
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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They retain full power for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Neodymium magnets are exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
- The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is strong,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Considering the ability of accurate molding and adaptation to custom requirements, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a variety of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We recommend a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a base made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface free of scratches
- with zero gap (without paint)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Nickel allergy
A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. We suggest use safety gloves.
Crushing force
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Safe operation
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
Keep away from computers
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Keep away from children
These products are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Material brittleness
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Impact on smartphones
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
