1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces 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
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 and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose power, even after approximately 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- A magnet with a shiny silver surface has better aesthetics,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of accurate forming and adjusting to complex conditions,
- Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in HDD drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Weaknesses
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as 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. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- with a plane cleaned and smooth
- with total lack of distance (without paint)
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in stable room temperature
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was tested 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 slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Permanent damage
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Handling rules
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Shattering risk
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Compass and GPS
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
Fire warning
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Bone fractures
Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Keep away from computers
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Warning for allergy sufferers
A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. It is best to use safety gloves.
Danger to the youngest
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.
Life threat
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
