1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the safety 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
- A magnet with a shiny nickel surface is more attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in computer drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its 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 recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
- in neutral thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Respect the power
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Magnets are brittle
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Nickel coating and allergies
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and choose versions in plastic housing.
Life threat
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Protect data
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Swallowing risk
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Flammability
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
