1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.40
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.
Benefits
- They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of opposing magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
- Magnets possess very high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- 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 flexibility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they find application in hard drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- 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 increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- 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
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Avoid contact if allergic
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or choose encased magnets.
Flammability
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Medical interference
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Do not give to children
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Caution required
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Magnetic interference
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
Serious injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Safe distance
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Power loss in heat
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
