1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.
3. Thermal stability
*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.68
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Benefits
- They do not lose power, even over around ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets are characterized by exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
- The use of an metallic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to modularity in forming and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Universal use in future technologies – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Limitations
- They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
- Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?
- on a base made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
- with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without any clearance between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at temperature room level
Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors
- Distance (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
- Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
- Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Warnings
Beware of splinters
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Health Danger
Patients with a ICD have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.
Avoid contact if allergic
A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause a rash. We strongly advise use safety gloves.
Keep away from electronics
A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.
Machining danger
Fire warning: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.
Pinching danger
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
Permanent damage
Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Respect the power
Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.
Keep away from children
NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.
Cards and drives
Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of at least 10 cm.
