1. Vertical hold
*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.
3. Temperature resistance
*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) = 0.68
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.
Strengths
- They do not lose magnetism, even over around 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
- Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
- The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
- Magnets are characterized by excellent magnetic induction on the outer side,
- Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
- Thanks to flexibility in forming and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
- Key role in electronics industry – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, drive modules, diagnostic systems, also complex engineering applications.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications
Cons
- To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
- Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we advise using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
- We recommend cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities
Holding force characteristics
Maximum magnetic pulling force – what affects it?
- on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
- with an ideally smooth contact surface
- without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
- at ambient temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
- Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
- Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
- Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.
Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.
H&S for magnets
Keep away from computers
Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
No play value
Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.
Magnetic interference
A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Heat warning
Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
Machining danger
Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
Danger to pacemakers
Patients with a ICD should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
Finger safety
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Metal Allergy
Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for encased magnets.
Conscious usage
Be careful. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.
