*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

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.

Magnetic Induction

Check out more offers

The ring-shaped magnet MP 12x8/4x3 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, 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 door latch, speaker holder, or mounting 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 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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. This product is dedicated for indoor use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders 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. 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 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. In the case of connecting two rings, make sure one is turned the right way. We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which increases force concentration,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in mass storage devices, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • 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 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 power 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 rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings
Material brittleness

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Fire risk

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Immense force

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

Keep away from children

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Life threat

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Hand protection

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Data carriers

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

Nickel allergy

Certain individuals have a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in dermatitis. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Permanent damage

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
