1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- 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 remains extremely intense,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
- Wide application in future technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- with zero gap (without impurities)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
GPS Danger
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Bodily injuries
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Electronic hazard
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
This is not a toy
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Avoid contact if allergic
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Safe operation
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
