1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 0.13
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
- Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to customize to client solutions,
- Key role in innovative solutions – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 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 producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- with zero gap (no impurities)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Danger to the youngest
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Medical implants
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
GPS Danger
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Electronic hazard
Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Nickel allergy
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Fire warning
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Caution required
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Bodily injuries
Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
