1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces 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) = 1.34

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.

Magnet pull force


Field Strength

Other proposals

The ring magnet with a hole MP 12x5x2 / N38 is created for permanent mounting, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. It is also often used in advertising for fixing signs and in workshops for organizing tools.
This is a crucial issue when working with model MP 12x5x2 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are hard but breakable and inelastic. One turn too many can destroy the magnet, so do it slowly. It's a good idea to use a rubber spacer under the screw head, which will cushion the stresses. Remember: cracking during assembly results from material properties, not a product defect.
These magnets are coated with standard Ni-Cu-Ni plating, which protects them in indoor conditions, but is not sufficient for rain. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. This product is dedicated for inside building use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders or additional protection with varnish.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 5 mm fits this model. If the magnet does not have a chamfer (cone), we recommend using a screw with a flat or cylindrical head, or possibly using a washer. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø12x2 mm and a weight of 1.4 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 1.15 kg, which translates to 11.29 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 5 mm.
The poles are located on the planes with holes, not on the sides of the ring. If you want two such magnets screwed with cones facing each other (faces) to attract, you must connect them with opposite poles (N to S). We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their power is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • A magnet with a metallic silver surface has better aesthetics,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Due to the ability of free shaping and customization to specialized requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in innovative solutions – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical equipment, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • with direct contact (no coatings)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Please note that the working load may be lower depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Thermal limits

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.

Eye protection

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Mechanical processing

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Protect data

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Warning for allergy sufferers

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Medical implants

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Caution required

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Bodily injuries

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Adults only

Only for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store away from children and animals.
