1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.14
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.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
- The use of an aesthetic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to freedom in shaping and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
- Significant place in future technologies – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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 stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- with direct contact (no paint)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Medical implants
People with a heart stimulator must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Fire risk
Powder generated during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Heat sensitivity
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.
Nickel coating and allergies
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Pinching danger
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Phone sensors
GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Choking Hazard
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Material brittleness
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Protect data
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
