1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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
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.

Other offers
Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They retain attractive force for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of exact modeling and modifying to atypical applications,
- Significant place in future technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, drive modules, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Limitations
- They are prone to damage upon heavy 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
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Life threat
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Threat to navigation
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Dust explosion hazard
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Keep away from computers
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Beware of splinters
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.
This is not a toy
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.
Hand protection
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Heat sensitivity
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.
Nickel coating and allergies
Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Caution required
Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
