1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59
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.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
- By covering with a smooth layer of gold, the element gains an modern look,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
- 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...
- Thanks to freedom in designing and the ability to customize to complex applications,
- Versatile presence in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in HDD drives, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an polished touching surface
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
- at standard ambient temperature
Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
- Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Smoothness – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
H&S for magnets
Fire risk
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Bodily injuries
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Heat sensitivity
Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.
Keep away from children
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.
Keep away from electronics
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.
Threat to electronics
Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Implant safety
People with a pacemaker must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Handling guide
Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.
Avoid contact if allergic
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Protective goggles
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
