1. Wall mount (shear)
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 material, 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
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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They retain full power for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- By using a decorative layer of nickel, the element has an modern look,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to customize to client solutions,
- Versatile presence in modern industrial fields – they are utilized in computer drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
- with a thickness of at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at standard ambient temperature
What influences lifting capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Warnings
Sensitization to coating
Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or opt for versions in plastic housing.
Safe operation
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
Finger safety
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Precision electronics
GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.
Heat sensitivity
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Material brittleness
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Mechanical processing
Dust produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
Implant safety
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
Cards and drives
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Do not give to children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from children and animals.
