1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits 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) = 1.49
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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface is more attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains very high,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the possibility of accurate shaping and adaptation to unique solutions, magnetic components can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are used in hard drives, brushless drives, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting 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 power. 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane free of scratches
- with total lack of distance (no paint)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at temperature room level
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (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 much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Warnings
Allergic reactions
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Phone sensors
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Magnetic media
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Operating temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Immense force
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Physical harm
Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Combustion hazard
Dust produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Fragile material
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Adults only
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Eating several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Life threat
Patients with a ICD must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
