1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They do not lose strength, even during approximately ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
- In other words, due to the metallic layer of gold, the element gains visual value,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Possibility of exact machining and modifying to precise needs,
- Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, electric motors, diagnostic systems, and technologically advanced constructions.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves 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 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
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
- Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Lifting parameters
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by even structure
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at ambient temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Direction of force – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
- Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Cards and drives
Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
Handling rules
Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Life threat
Patients with a ICD must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the life-saving device.
Shattering risk
NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Keep away from children
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
Magnetic interference
Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from touching magnets with bare hands or select coated magnets.
Mechanical processing
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
