1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44
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 and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They do not lose strength, even over nearly ten years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of custom machining and adjusting to atypical applications,
- Universal use in future technologies – they are utilized in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical equipment, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Material brittleness
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Power loss in heat
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Machining danger
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Life threat
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Hand protection
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Respect the power
Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Nickel coating and allergies
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.
Electronic hazard
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Product not for children
Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
