1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 1.21
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 have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Due to the option of accurate shaping and customization to individualized needs, neodymium magnets can be created in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which amplifies use scope,
- Universal use in future technologies – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. 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 when using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Nickel allergy
Certain individuals have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.
Flammability
Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Magnetic interference
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Magnetic media
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Bone fractures
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Permanent damage
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Conscious usage
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Shattering risk
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Do not give to children
These products are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
