1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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

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. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. 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. It's a good idea to use a flexible washer under the screw head, which will cushion the stresses. 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 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.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 8/4 mm fits this model. For magnets with a straight hole, a conical head can act like a wedge and burst the magnet. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø12x3 mm and a weight of 2.26 g. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.21 kg (force ~21.72 N). 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. 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

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external fields,
  • In other words, due to the reflective surface of silver, the element looks attractive,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to the ability of free forming and adaptation to individualized projects, neodymium magnets can be produced in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they are commonly used in data components, electric motors, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value performed under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the working load will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
This is not a toy

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Handling rules

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Risk of cracking

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

Physical harm

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Implant safety

Individuals with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Do not overheat magnets

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and pulling force.

Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Do not drill into magnets

Machining of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Cards and drives

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Metal Allergy

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, avoid direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.
