1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains strong,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of precise modeling and adapting to individual conditions,
- Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Keep away from computers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Avoid contact if allergic
Certain individuals have a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in skin redness. We suggest use protective gloves.
Crushing force
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Keep away from electronics
GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
No play value
Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.
Mechanical processing
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Safe operation
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Power loss in heat
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Pacemakers
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
