1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.21
This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
- In other words, due to the shiny layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
- Magnets possess exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in constructing and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they are used in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, and modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, 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 strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as 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 during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at room temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Medical interference
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Flammability
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Adults only
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Metal Allergy
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Protect data
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.
Impact on smartphones
Remember: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Power loss in heat
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
Bone fractures
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Respect the power
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.
