1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.44
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Considering the possibility of accurate shaping and customization to specialized projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they serve a role in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane free of scratches
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Health Danger
Patients with a heart stimulator should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.
Thermal limits
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Choking Hazard
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.
Machining danger
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Magnet fragility
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
GPS Danger
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Cards and drives
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Serious injuries
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Allergic reactions
It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.
Conscious usage
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
