1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.31
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 as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Strengths
- Their strength is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains extremely intense,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of individual machining and adapting to precise conditions,
- Versatile presence in electronics industry – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and other advanced devices.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems
Disadvantages
- At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
- Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by smoothness
- with total lack of distance (without coatings)
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Determinants of lifting force in real conditions
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Shattering risk
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
Electronic devices
Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.
Nickel allergy
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.
Finger safety
Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.
Life threat
Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.
Fire warning
Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Respect the power
Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.
Phone sensors
A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
Choking Hazard
Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
