1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.24
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual creating as well as adjusting to individual needs,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in data components, drive modules, medical equipment, and modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (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 perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Product not for children
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Threat to electronics
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Allergic reactions
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Do not overheat magnets
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
GPS Danger
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Dust explosion hazard
Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Respect the power
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Warning for heart patients
People with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
