1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly 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) = 0.30
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.
Benefits
- Their power remains stable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface looks better,
- Magnets are characterized by huge magnetic induction on the surface,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- In view of the option of accurate forming and adaptation to unique needs, NdFeB magnets can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in a rash. We suggest wear protective gloves.
Power loss in heat
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Powerful field
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Finger safety
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
Keep away from children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
Machining danger
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Safe distance
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Compass and GPS
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Danger to pacemakers
Patients with a ICD have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
