1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.63
The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to the possibility of free shaping and adaptation to specialized needs, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they are commonly used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Limitations
- They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Distance (between the magnet and the plate), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Product not for children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Bone fractures
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Caution required
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Eye protection
Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Health Danger
People with a heart stimulator should keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Phone sensors
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
Machining danger
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Allergic reactions
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
