1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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) = 0.20
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.

Other offers
Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- Their strength remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
- Magnets exhibit excellent magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Due to the possibility of flexible molding and customization to individualized projects, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in modern industrial fields – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an polished touching surface
- with direct contact (without impurities)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Combustion hazard
Powder generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Handling guide
Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Safe distance
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Shattering risk
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Avoid contact if allergic
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
No play value
Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
