1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59
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.

Other proposals
Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
- By using a shiny layer of silver, the element acquires an proper look,
- Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet remains extremely intense,
- 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...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to customize to complex applications,
- Significant place in modern technologies – they find application in HDD drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, also technologically advanced constructions.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
- 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 corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
- Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
- Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Lifting parameters
Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what contributes to it?
- with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- with a thickness minimum 10 mm
- with an ground contact surface
- without any air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at ambient temperature room level
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Load vector – maximum parameter is reached 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).
- Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
- Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
- Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
- Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.
Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.
Safe handling of neodymium magnets
ICD Warning
Patients with a heart stimulator should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.
Safe operation
Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Choking Hazard
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.
Magnet fragility
Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
Allergic reactions
Certain individuals experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause skin redness. We strongly advise use protective gloves.
Demagnetization risk
Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
Dust is flammable
Dust produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
Threat to electronics
Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.
GPS Danger
Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
Pinching danger
Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
