1. Shear force
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*For standard magnets, 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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- A magnet with a metallic silver surface looks better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to modify to unusual requirements,
- Huge importance in future technologies – they find application in mass storage devices, brushless drives, precision medical tools, and other advanced devices.
- Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,
Limitations
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (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 suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
- Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic holder.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- with a thickness no less than 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- with direct contact (without impurities)
- under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Metal 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 pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Keep away from electronics
A strong magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Sensitization to coating
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
Choking Hazard
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Electronic hazard
Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.
Do not drill into magnets
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Crushing risk
Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Medical implants
Individuals with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
Safe operation
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.
Do not overheat magnets
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Shattering risk
Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
