1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.33
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.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be very high,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of exact forming as well as optimizing to defined requirements,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Warnings
Safe distance
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Heat sensitivity
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Precision electronics
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Magnets are brittle
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Fire risk
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Crushing force
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Product not for children
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Powerful field
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
