1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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 permanent mounting, 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 spacer element in devices.
This material behaves more like porcelain than steel, so it doesn't forgive mistakes during mounting. When tightening the screw, you must maintain great sensitivity. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because excessive force will cause the ring to crack. It's a good idea to use a rubber spacer under the screw head, which will cushion the stresses. 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.
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.
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). We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a smooth gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the option of free shaping and customization to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. 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 power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets 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 lifting capacity listed is a measurement result conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Dust is flammable

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Magnets are brittle

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into shards.

Power loss in heat

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Nickel allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact and select coated magnets.

Powerful field

Handle magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Pinching danger

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.

This is not a toy

Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Threat to navigation

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.
