1. Sliding resistance
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.
2. Plate thickness effect
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*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
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.

Other proposals
Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
- They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external fields,
- Thanks to the shimmering finish, the plating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
- Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet remains impressive,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Considering the possibility of accurate shaping and customization to custom requirements, neodymium magnets can be created in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
- Key role in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
- Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,
Cons
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
- We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what contributes to it?
- using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
- whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
- for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
- in neutral thermal conditions
Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors
- Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
- Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
- Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.
Warnings
Do not underestimate power
Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Danger to pacemakers
For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
Beware of splinters
Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.
Danger to the youngest
Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
Thermal limits
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Data carriers
Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.
GPS Danger
A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.
Skin irritation risks
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.
Physical harm
Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.
Dust explosion hazard
Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
