1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.26
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 products
Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their strength remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to external fields,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of gold, the element gains visual value,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of precise machining and adjusting to concrete applications,
- Universal use in modern technologies – they are commonly used in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Pacemakers
Individuals with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
No play value
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Crushing force
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Magnet fragility
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Conscious usage
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
Compass and GPS
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Mechanical processing
Dust generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Data carriers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Do not overheat magnets
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause skin redness. We recommend use protective gloves.
