1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*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.
Advantages
- They do not lose strength, even after approximately 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
- The use of an aesthetic layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
- Possibility of detailed creating and adjusting to precise requirements,
- Wide application in electronics industry – they are used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and multitasking production systems.
- Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Weaknesses
- 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 suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnetic holder.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities
Pull force analysis
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what contributes to it?
- on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- in temp. approx. 20°C
Key elements affecting lifting force
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
- Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Protect data
Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).
Protective goggles
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Magnetic interference
An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Machining danger
Powder produced during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
Conscious usage
Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.
No play value
Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Medical interference
Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Crushing risk
Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Thermal limits
Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Allergy Warning
Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
