1. Shear force

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp 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.

Field Strength

Other proposals

It is ideally suited for places where solid attachment of the magnet to the substrate is required without the risk of detachment. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. This product with a force of 1.15 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or mounting element in devices.
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 flexible washer under the screw head, which will cushion the stresses. Remember: cracking during assembly results from material properties, not a product defect.
Moisture can penetrate micro-cracks in the coating and cause oxidation of the magnet. 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.
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. 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 key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.15 kg (force ~11.29 N). 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). We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • The use of an metallic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of individual forming and optimizing to complex needs,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they find application in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined using a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Eye protection

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating a few magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Allergic reactions

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Serious injuries

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Data carriers

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Handling guide

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Fire risk

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Health Danger

Patients with a heart stimulator must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.
