1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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

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. It is also often used in advertising for fixing signs and in workshops for organizing tools.
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. 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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. 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. 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.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø12 mm (outer diameter) and height 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external fields,
  • By using a shiny layer of nickel, the element presents an elegant look,
  • Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of precise machining as well as modifying to defined requirements,
  • Huge importance in high-tech industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

Breakaway force was determined for optimal configuration, including:
  • on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In practice, the actual holding force results from several key aspects, ranked from crucial:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Thermal limits

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

Respect the power

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Risk of cracking

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

No play value

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Implant safety

Patients with a ICD must maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Avoid contact if allergic

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Bodily injuries

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Flammability

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Keep away from computers

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.
