1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.09
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.
Pros
- They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- In other words, due to the smooth surface of gold, the element becomes visually attractive,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed forming as well as adapting to specific applications,
- Key role in innovative solutions – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. 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 corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited possibility of making nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with total lack of distance (no impurities)
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Base massiveness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Finger safety
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
This is not a toy
Absolutely store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Medical implants
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Data carriers
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Impact on smartphones
GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Caution required
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Skin irritation risks
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Do not drill into magnets
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Risk of cracking
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
