1. Shear force
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces 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) = 1.38
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- 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...
- Due to the potential of precise forming and adaptation to unique requirements, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Versatile presence in future technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience 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 during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- with total lack of distance (without coatings)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Bone fractures
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Product not for children
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Medical interference
Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Avoid contact if allergic
Certain individuals have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to skin redness. We recommend wear protective gloves.
Protect data
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Combustion hazard
Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Power loss in heat
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Magnetic interference
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Caution required
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
Magnet fragility
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
