1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, 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
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- By applying a decorative coating of silver, the element gains an proper look,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is maximum,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- at temperature room level
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Do not overheat magnets
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Precision electronics
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Caution required
Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Electronic devices
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Crushing risk
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Implant safety
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Beware of splinters
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
This is not a toy
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Some people suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in skin redness. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
