1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has an effective appearance,
- Magnets possess maximum magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to modify to client solutions,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they find application in mass storage devices, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Medical interference
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Adults only
Always store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.
Skin irritation risks
It is widely known that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and choose coated magnets.
Beware of splinters
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
Keep away from computers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Do not underestimate power
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Finger safety
Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
GPS and phone interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
