1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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

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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Induction

Other products

It is ideally suited for places where solid attachment of the magnet to the substrate is required without the risk of detachment. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. This product with a force of 1.15 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or spacer element in devices.
This is a crucial issue when working with model MP 12x5x2 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle and inelastic. 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 is not sufficient for rain. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. This product is dedicated for indoor use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders or additional protection with varnish.
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. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
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 product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 5 mm.
These magnets are magnetized axially (through the thickness), which means one flat side is the N pole and the other is S. In the case of connecting two rings, make sure one is turned the right way. When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • A magnet with a shiny nickel surface looks better,
  • Magnets possess exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of exact shaping as well as adjusting to atypical requirements,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the maximum value, recorded under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

During everyday use, the real power results from several key aspects, presented from most significant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Warnings
Machining danger

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

GPS Danger

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Swallowing risk

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and requires immediate surgery.

Maximum temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Eye protection

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Sensitization to coating

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

Threat to electronics

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Life threat

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Do not underestimate power

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Pinching danger

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
