1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59
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.
Advantages
- Their strength remains stable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of accurate creating and adapting to individual requirements,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
- Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Pull force analysis
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the use of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
- Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – heating the magnet 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 smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Do not give to children
Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store away from kids and pets.
Cards and drives
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).
Flammability
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
Handling rules
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Life threat
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Bone fractures
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Magnet fragility
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Heat warning
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Phone sensors
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.
