Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the critical 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 mechanical fastening, 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. 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. 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 magnets in hermetic housing or additional protection with varnish.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. 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 product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 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. 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 and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • In view of the possibility of accurate molding and customization to custom solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

The load parameter shown refers to the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding will differ subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Fire warning

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

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Handling rules

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Bone fractures

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Safe distance

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

No play value

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Medical implants

People with a ICD must maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Heat warning

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Precision electronics

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.
