1. Vertical hold
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.
2. Efficiency vs thickness
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces 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
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
Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Pros
- Their magnetic field remains stable, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
- They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
- The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
- The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
- Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
- Thanks to the possibility of free forming and customization to custom requirements, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
- Universal use in modern industrial fields – they find application in HDD drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also industrial machines.
- Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications
Disadvantages
- To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
- When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
- We suggest a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
- Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?
- with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
- whose thickness is min. 10 mm
- characterized by lack of roughness
- without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
- during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
- at standard ambient temperature
Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet
- Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
- Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
- Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.
Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.
Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
This is not a toy
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Avoid contact if allergic
Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
Do not drill into magnets
Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
Keep away from electronics
Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.
Electronic hazard
Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
Respect the power
Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.
Bodily injuries
Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.
Risk of cracking
Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Heat warning
Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.
Medical implants
Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
