1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.35
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.

Other proposals
Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
- In other words, due to the metallic finish of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which increases force concentration,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they are used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Impact on smartphones
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Do not underestimate power
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Flammability
Powder produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Permanent damage
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
This is not a toy
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Bodily injuries
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Data carriers
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Magnet fragility
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Sensitization to coating
Some people suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.
