1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- Their magnetic field is durable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- In other words, due to the glossy finish of gold, the element looks attractive,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
- Key role in electronics industry – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- 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 suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Bone fractures
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!
Maximum temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Magnetic interference
GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Implant safety
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Fire risk
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Magnet fragility
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.
Swallowing risk
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Magnetic media
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Metal Allergy
A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in a rash. It is best to use protective gloves.
Immense force
Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.
