1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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
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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their strength is durable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains very high,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the ability of accurate forming and adaptation to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Significant place in electronics industry – they find application in data components, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium 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 extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Warnings
Thermal limits
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.
Choking Hazard
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Medical interference
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Keep away from electronics
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Risk of cracking
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact and opt for coated magnets.
Hand protection
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two strong magnets.
Do not underestimate power
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Dust explosion hazard
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Threat to electronics
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
