1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.13
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.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- By applying a lustrous layer of nickel, the element presents an elegant look,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Due to the ability of flexible molding and adaptation to specialized requirements, neodymium magnets can be produced in a variety of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they serve a role in hard drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength 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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with an polished contact surface
- with direct contact (without paint)
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Beware of splinters
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Do not drill into magnets
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Handling guide
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Safe distance
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Danger to pacemakers
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Do not give to children
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Power loss in heat
Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Allergy Warning
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and opt for coated magnets.
Magnetic interference
GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
