1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For standard magnets, the safety limit 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
Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even during approximately 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an refined layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains exceptional,
- 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...
- Thanks to versatility in designing and the capacity to adapt to unusual requirements,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
- We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- on a block made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with a plane perfectly flat
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
- Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Conscious usage
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.
Threat to electronics
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.
Dust is flammable
Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Avoid contact if allergic
Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause skin redness. We recommend use protective gloves.
GPS and phone interference
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Do not give to children
Strictly store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Heat warning
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.
