1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- Neodymium magnets prove to be remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical devices, and industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at room temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
GPS and phone interference
Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Combustion hazard
Powder generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Electronic hazard
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Skin irritation risks
Some people suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.
Handling guide
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Do not give to children
Always keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.
Fragile material
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Warning for heart patients
People with a ICD should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.
