1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose strength, even over around 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external fields,
- In other words, due to the shiny finish of silver, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
- Huge importance in advanced technology sectors – they find application in data components, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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 oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- with an ground touching surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel type – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Eye protection
Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Phone sensors
Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Conscious usage
Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Heat sensitivity
Control the heat. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
This is not a toy
Strictly keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
Medical interference
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Data carriers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Sensitization to coating
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
