1. Wall mount (shear)
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.12
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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They do not lose strength, even over around 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is impressive,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the option of precise forming and customization to unique needs, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Swallowing risk
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.
Finger safety
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Immense force
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Precision electronics
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Allergy Warning
Some people experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We suggest use protective gloves.
Permanent damage
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Risk of cracking
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Data carriers
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Implant safety
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Dust explosion hazard
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
