1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 0.76
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They have constant strength, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- Thanks to the elegant finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet turns out to be very high,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of accurate shaping and modifying to complex needs,
- Universal use in electronics industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise 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 advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Metal Allergy
Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. It is best to wear safety gloves.
Physical harm
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Data carriers
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Operating temperature
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Powerful field
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
This is not a toy
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
ICD Warning
Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Magnetic interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Dust is flammable
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
