1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.54
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.
Strengths
- They have constant strength, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- A magnet with a smooth silver surface has better aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Due to the potential of flexible molding and adaptation to unique solutions, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, medical equipment, and modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- with total lack of distance (without impurities)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Impact on smartphones
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
ICD Warning
People with a heart stimulator have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Do not give to children
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Nickel coating and allergies
Some people have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in a rash. We recommend use safety gloves.
Dust is flammable
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Magnet fragility
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Conscious usage
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Serious injuries
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
