1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens 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) = 0.79
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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an clean appearance,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
- Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also modern systems.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength 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 advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
- Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can 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
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
- Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Warnings
Swallowing risk
These products are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Protect data
Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Threat to navigation
An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.
Do not overheat magnets
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Mechanical processing
Powder produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Do not underestimate power
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand between two strong magnets.
Allergic reactions
Some people experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause skin redness. It is best to wear protective gloves.
