1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the safety 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.

The ring-shaped magnet MP 12x5x2 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. This product with a force of 1.15 kg works great as a door latch, speaker holder, or spacer element in devices.
This material behaves more like porcelain than steel, so it doesn't forgive mistakes during mounting. One turn too many can destroy the magnet, so do it slowly. The flat screw head should evenly press the magnet. 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 does not ensure full waterproofing. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. For magnets with a straight hole, a conical head can act like a wedge and burst the magnet. Always check that the screw head is not larger than the outer diameter of the magnet (12 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø12 mm (outer diameter) and height 2 mm. 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.
These magnets are magnetized axially (through the thickness), which means one flat side is the N pole and the other is S. 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). When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Magnets perfectly resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the metallic surface of silver, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • In view of the ability of accurate shaping and customization to specialized solutions, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they are used in magnetic memories, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering 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 forcewhat affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the limit force, recorded under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

During everyday use, the real power depends on a number of factors, listed from crucial:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Allergic reactions

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Handling rules

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Do not drill into magnets

Powder created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Do not give to children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from kids and pets.

Medical implants

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Threat to navigation

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.
