1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.14
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
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- In other words, due to the glossy finish of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
- Huge importance in future technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- with a surface perfectly flat
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Load vector – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
GPS Danger
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Keep away from children
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.
Heat warning
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Machining danger
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Handling guide
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling may cause a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.
Physical harm
Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Implant safety
Patients with a ICD should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.
Threat to electronics
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
