1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.50
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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
- In other words, due to the aesthetic layer of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- Magnets are distinguished by extremely high magnetic induction on the outer layer,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to customize to complex applications,
- Huge importance in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
- Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with an polished touching surface
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Base massiveness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Impact on smartphones
An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Metal Allergy
Some people suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. It is best to use protective gloves.
Cards and drives
Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Dust is flammable
Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Choking Hazard
These products are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.
Serious injuries
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
Magnet fragility
Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Health Danger
Patients with a pacemaker should maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Powerful field
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
