1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 grade, the safety limit 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
- They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- In other words, due to the reflective layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to the possibility of accurate forming and adaptation to unique requirements, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
- Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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 resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?
- with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
- under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
- at conditions approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Steel thickness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
- Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Immense force
Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.
Bodily injuries
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Material brittleness
Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Demagnetization risk
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Keep away from electronics
An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.
Skin irritation risks
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
Electronic devices
Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Do not drill into magnets
Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Product not for children
These products are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Health Danger
Health Alert: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
