1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.45
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.
Pros
- Their strength is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic gold surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is very high,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
- Significant place in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience 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 advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with zero gap (without coatings)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – 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.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Metal Allergy
Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. It is best to use safety gloves.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Fire risk
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
This is not a toy
Always keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Thermal limits
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Magnets are brittle
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Caution required
Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.
Danger to pacemakers
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Serious injuries
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
