1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- Their power is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- A magnet with a smooth silver surface has better aesthetics,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is exceptional,
- Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the potential of flexible forming and customization to individualized requirements, magnetic components can be produced in a broad palette of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as multitasking production systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions
Weaknesses
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- NdFeB magnets lose force 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
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
- With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Lifting parameters
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
- possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
- under vertical application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
- Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Swallowing risk
These products are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Avoid contact if allergic
Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for encased magnets.
Pinching danger
Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Dust is flammable
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Life threat
For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Magnetic interference
Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.
Electronic devices
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).
Caution required
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Permanent damage
Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.
