1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains strong,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual forming as well as adjusting to atypical applications,
- Huge importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
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 power. 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. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- with zero gap (no impurities)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Warnings
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Serious injuries
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
No play value
Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Do not drill into magnets
Dust created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Magnetic interference
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Skin irritation risks
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.
Demagnetization risk
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Respect the power
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
