1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely 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) = 0.35
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- Their power is durable, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic surface of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is exceptional,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the potential of accurate shaping and customization to custom needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are used in data components, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Risk of cracking
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Crushing force
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Do not overheat magnets
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Product not for children
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Fire warning
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Handling rules
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.
