1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 1.00
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 as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose magnetism, even during around 10 years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external fields,
- Thanks to the glossy finish, the plating of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Universal use in future technologies – they are used in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,
Lifting parameters
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
- whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
ICD Warning
Individuals with a pacemaker should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the implant.
Bodily injuries
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Protect data
Data protection: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Flammability
Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Nickel allergy
A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. It is best to wear safety gloves.
Do not overheat magnets
Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.
Magnets are brittle
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Compass and GPS
Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.
No play value
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Safe operation
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
