1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.28

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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

Other proposals

The ring magnet with a hole MP 14x8/4x3 / N38 is created for permanent mounting, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. This product with a force of 2.53 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. 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.
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 indoor 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 (14 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø14x3 mm and a weight of 3.18 g. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.53 kg (force ~24.85 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. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By using a lustrous coating of nickel, the element has an aesthetic look,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in constructing and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, precision medical tools, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these products 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 holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, recorded under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with total lack of distance (without impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Do not give to children

These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Safe operation

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Risk of cracking

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.

Life threat

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Nickel coating and allergies

Studies show that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for coated magnets.

Demagnetization risk

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.

Hand protection

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Compass and GPS

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Fire warning

Dust created during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Safe distance

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).
