1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.29
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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose power, even after approximately ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface is more attractive,
- Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to modify to unusual requirements,
- Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape as well as 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an polished touching surface
- with direct contact (without paint)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – maximum parameter is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Steel thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Skin irritation risks
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Pacemakers
Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Demagnetization risk
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and strength.
Pinching danger
Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Product not for children
Absolutely store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Immense force
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Magnetic interference
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
