1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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) = 1.59
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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
- They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to external magnetic sources,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface looks better,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be extremely intense,
- 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...
- Possibility of accurate machining as well as modifying to individual needs,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in hard drives, brushless drives, medical equipment, as well as other advanced devices.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. 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
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Pull force analysis
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what it depends on?
- using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with a surface cleaned and smooth
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
- Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Nickel coating and allergies
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select versions in plastic housing.
Warning for heart patients
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Powerful field
Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Protective goggles
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Impact of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
Crushing force
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Magnetic interference
Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
Dust is flammable
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Magnetic media
Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Product not for children
Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Operating temperature
Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.
