1. Wall mount (shear)
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For N38 material, 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.

Other offers
Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- Their power remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
- Magnets effectively resist against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
- Thanks to the metallic finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnets are characterized by impressive magnetic induction on the surface,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
- Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Weaknesses
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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
- 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
- We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
- with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Plate thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.
Warnings
Electronic hazard
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
Combustion hazard
Dust produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
Risk of cracking
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Wear goggles.
Serious injuries
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Safe operation
Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Do not give to children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of children and animals.
Sensitization to coating
Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.
Demagnetization risk
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Phone sensors
Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.
