1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit 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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose strength, even after nearly ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the reflective layer of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- Magnets have excellent magnetic induction on the surface,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in shaping and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they serve a role in hard drives, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an polished touching surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Fire risk
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Choking Hazard
Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.
Caution required
Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Sensitization to coating
Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
Life threat
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Protective goggles
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
Magnetic interference
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Heat warning
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
