1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.71
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- Thanks to the smooth finish, the surface of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnets have exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the surface,
- 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 constructing and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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 very resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics 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
Holding force characteristics
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Do not underestimate power
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Fire risk
Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Crushing risk
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Some people have a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to a rash. We suggest wear safety gloves.
Eye protection
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Medical implants
Individuals with a ICD must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Phone sensors
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Choking Hazard
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Data carriers
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
