1. Sliding resistance
*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.
2. Steel thickness impact
*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.
3. Power loss vs temp
*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
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.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.
Advantages
- They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
- They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
- A magnet with a shiny gold surface looks better,
- Magnets are distinguished by impressive magnetic induction on the surface,
- Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
- Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
- Universal use in high-tech industry – they serve a role in computer drives, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
- Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices
Limitations
- At strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
- When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
- When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
- We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
- Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
- With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,
Holding force characteristics
Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?
- on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
- possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
- characterized by lack of roughness
- with zero gap (without paint)
- during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
- at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius
Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice
- Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
- Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
- Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
- Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
- Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
- Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).
Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the holding force.
Warnings
Operating temperature
Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.
Metal Allergy
Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
Risk of cracking
NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into shards.
Choking Hazard
Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
Cards and drives
Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
Magnetic interference
An intense magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.
Conscious usage
Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.
Danger to pacemakers
Individuals with a ICD have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
Bodily injuries
Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
Dust explosion hazard
Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
