1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.71
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 and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
- 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...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the capacity to adapt to individual projects,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they are utilized in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Skin irritation risks
Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Respect the power
Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
Machining danger
Powder generated during grinding of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Danger to pacemakers
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
No play value
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Protect data
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.
Crushing force
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
