1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- Thanks to the shiny finish, the coating of nickel, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
- Magnets possess impressive magnetic induction on the working surface,
- 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...
- Due to the ability of flexible shaping and customization to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,
Weaknesses
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power 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 - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with total lack of distance (without coatings)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Protect data
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
Danger to the youngest
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Impact on smartphones
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Hand protection
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Fire risk
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Shattering risk
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Powerful field
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.
Allergic reactions
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Implant safety
People with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Heat sensitivity
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
