1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.44
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Neodymium magnets remain highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the reflective layer of gold, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be strong,
- 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...
- In view of the option of flexible shaping and adaptation to unique projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Universal use in modern technologies – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Dust explosion hazard
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Hand protection
Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Warning for heart patients
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Power loss in heat
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Compass and GPS
Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Do not give to children
Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.
Fragile material
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Caution required
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their power.
