1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly 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) = 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.

Other products
Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose power, even during nearly ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
- A magnet with a shiny nickel surface has better aesthetics,
- They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
- Possibility of custom shaping as well as adapting to defined conditions,
- Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices
Disadvantages
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
- Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,
Holding force characteristics
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what it depends on?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth touching surface
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Fragile material
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Compass and GPS
A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Pacemakers
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
Dust is flammable
Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
Caution required
Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.
Hand protection
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Keep away from computers
Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
Permanent damage
Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Do not give to children
NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Allergic reactions
Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
