1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, 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.
Strengths
- Their strength is durable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- In other words, due to the reflective finish of nickel, the element looks attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains exceptional,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of precise machining as well as adjusting to atypical conditions,
- Key role in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in hard drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Cons
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with zero gap (without paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Dust is flammable
Dust generated during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Danger to the youngest
Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Protect data
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Conscious usage
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Allergy Warning
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Power loss in heat
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
Finger safety
Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Fragile material
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Threat to navigation
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Pacemakers
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
