1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.32

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 magnet with a hole MP 12x8/4x3 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, 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. This product with a force of 2.21 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or mounting 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.
Moisture can penetrate micro-cracks in the coating and cause oxidation of the magnet. In the place of the mounting hole, the coating is thinner and can be damaged when tightening the screw, which will become a corrosion focus. 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 8/4 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø12x3 mm and a weight of 2.26 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 2.21 kg, which translates to 21.72 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 8/4 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. We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their remarkable pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • By using a smooth coating of gold, the element presents an elegant look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to modularity in forming and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in computer drives, drive modules, medical equipment, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength 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 immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • with direct contact (no paint)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings
Caution required

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

Allergy Warning

Some people suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. It is best to use protective gloves.

This is not a toy

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Crushing force

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Fire warning

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Medical implants

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Operating temperature

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Material brittleness

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Keep away from computers

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).
