1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.71
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.

Other proposals
Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They retain magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
- By applying a decorative layer of silver, the element presents an professional look,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very 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...
- Thanks to the potential of accurate molding and adaptation to unique projects, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they find application in computer drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. 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 rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Heat warning
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Threat to navigation
A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
No play value
These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Immense force
Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Material brittleness
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Do not drill into magnets
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Nickel coating and allergies
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
ICD Warning
Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Serious injuries
Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.
