1. Shear force
*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically limits the holding force.
3. Heat tolerance
*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.
4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)
chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89
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.
Advantages
- They have stable power, and over more than ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
- They feature excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
- A magnet with a smooth gold surface looks better,
- They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to modify to specific needs,
- Key role in electronics industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
- 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 holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
- Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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
- They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
- We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
- Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to 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
Lifting parameters
Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?
- using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
- whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
- with an ground touching surface
- under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
- for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
- at temperature room level
Magnet lifting force in use – key factors
- Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
- Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
- Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
- Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
- Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).
Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.
Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Pinching danger
Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
Life threat
Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
Do not underestimate power
Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
Product not for children
NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.
Heat sensitivity
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.
Warning for allergy sufferers
Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.
Keep away from electronics
Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
Fire warning
Machining of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
Magnets are brittle
Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.
Data carriers
Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
