1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 1.19
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- In other words, due to the metallic surface of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
- Magnets exhibit excellent magnetic induction on the active area,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual forming and adapting to complex needs,
- Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are utilized in hard drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 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 immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Lifting parameters
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?
- with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Do not drill into magnets
Powder produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Danger to pacemakers
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Handling rules
Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.
Data carriers
Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
Keep away from children
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.
Avoid contact if allergic
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Protective goggles
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.
Crushing force
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
