1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens 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) = 0.26
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- The use of an metallic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the potential of free shaping and adaptation to specialized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose 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 start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Do not drill into magnets
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Do not underestimate power
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Risk of cracking
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Warning for heart patients
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Product not for children
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Compass and GPS
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
