1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.37
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.
Benefits
- They retain magnetic properties for around 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has an effective appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Considering the potential of precise molding and customization to individualized requirements, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Huge importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- with direct contact (no paint)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Warnings
Cards and drives
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Shattering risk
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Respect the power
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Precision electronics
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Crushing risk
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Permanent damage
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Avoid contact if allergic
A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to skin redness. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
Keep away from children
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Warning for heart patients
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
