1. Sliding resistance
*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel saturation
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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) = 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
- They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- In other words, due to the smooth layer of gold, the element gains visual value,
- Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is very high,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Key role in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?
- with the use of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- characterized by smoothness
- under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
- Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
- Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.
Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Serious injuries
Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Nickel coating and allergies
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
Keep away from children
Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.
Magnets are brittle
Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.
Flammability
Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Data carriers
Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
ICD Warning
Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.
Do not overheat magnets
Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.
Do not underestimate power
Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.
Keep away from electronics
Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
