1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.38
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- By covering with a decorative coating of nickel, the element has an proper look,
- Magnets possess maximum magnetic induction on the active area,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of individual modeling and modifying to complex needs,
- Huge importance in innovative solutions – they serve a role in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Eye protection
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Conscious usage
Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Medical implants
For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Serious injuries
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Threat to navigation
Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
Electronic devices
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).
Fire risk
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Product not for children
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
Sensitization to coating
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
