1. Vertical hold
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
- In other words, due to the glossy finish of gold, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be impressive,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Possibility of detailed machining and adjusting to precise needs,
- Key role in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's 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, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
- with a surface free of scratches
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.
H&S for magnets
Avoid contact if allergic
It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.
Fragile material
Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.
Life threat
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
Bone fractures
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.
Combustion hazard
Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Safe operation
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
Demagnetization risk
Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Threat to navigation
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
Safe distance
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Keep away from children
Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
