1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, 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
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 constant strength, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
- By applying a decorative coating of silver, the element acquires an professional look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Considering the possibility of flexible forming and adaptation to individualized projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in data components, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a plane perfectly flat
- under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in stable room temperature
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Bone fractures
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Data carriers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Life threat
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
Phone sensors
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Safe operation
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.
Machining danger
Dust produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
This is not a toy
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
