1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits 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) = 0.32

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.

The ring-shaped magnet MP 12x8/4x3 / N38 is created for permanent mounting, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. 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 12x8/4x3 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle and inelastic. When tightening the screw, you must maintain caution. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because too much pressure will cause the ring to crack. 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. 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.
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.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 12 mm and thickness 3 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 2.21 kg, which translates to 21.72 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 8/4 mm.
The poles are located on the planes with holes, not on the sides of the ring. 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface is more attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom creating as well as adapting to atypical applications,
  • Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are used in hard drives, electric motors, medical equipment, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. 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 advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

Holding force of 2.21 kg is a result of laboratory testing performed under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity is affected by working environment parameters, such as (from most important):
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Allergy Warning

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Maximum temperature

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Danger to pacemakers

People with a pacemaker must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

No play value

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Machining danger

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Safe operation

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Impact on smartphones

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Keep away from computers

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