1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.55
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.
Strengths
- They do not lose power, even after nearly 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
- Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnets have maximum magnetic induction on the working surface,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed modeling and optimizing to defined needs,
- Key role in modern technologies – they serve a role in data components, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Cons
- To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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 very resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Skin irritation risks
Certain individuals experience a contact allergy to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in skin redness. It is best to wear protective gloves.
Choking Hazard
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Safe operation
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Mechanical processing
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Protective goggles
Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Magnetic interference
An intense magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Operating temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Crushing risk
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
