1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- Their power remains stable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic finish of gold, the element gains visual value,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Considering the ability of flexible shaping and adaptation to individualized needs, magnetic components can be produced in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Key role in modern technologies – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (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
- 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, when using outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Thermal limits
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Mechanical processing
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Sensitization to coating
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Electronic hazard
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Caution required
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Bone fractures
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!
Phone sensors
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.
Eye protection
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Do not give to children
These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
ICD Warning
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
