1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly weakens the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.19
The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose power, even during nearly 10 years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
- A magnet with a metallic gold surface has an effective appearance,
- They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Possibility of custom machining and adjusting to individual needs,
- Wide application in modern technologies – they are commonly used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Weaknesses
- Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,
Pull force analysis
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a plane free of scratches
- with zero gap (no impurities)
- for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.
Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Handling rules
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Adults only
Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Bone fractures
Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.
Warning for heart patients
Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Beware of splinters
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
Dust explosion hazard
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Safe distance
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Operating temperature
Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.
Nickel coating and allergies
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or choose encased magnets.
GPS Danger
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
