1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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

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-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. 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.
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 easily scratched when tightening the screw, which will become a corrosion focus. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
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 mounting hole diameter is precisely 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. When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for around 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external interference,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an modern appearance,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • In view of the ability of free shaping and customization to custom projects, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, drive modules, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

The force parameter is a measurement result performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature room level

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Bear in mind that the working load may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Machining danger

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Permanent damage

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.

Physical harm

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Safe distance

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Caution required

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Allergy Warning

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Fragile material

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Impact on smartphones

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Adults only

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Pacemakers

Individuals with a ICD should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Caution! Learn more about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
