1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.22

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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other products

It is ideally suited for places where solid attachment of the magnet to the substrate is required without the risk of detachment. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. This product with a force of 0.68 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or mounting element in devices.
This is a crucial issue when working with model MP 16x12x2 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are hard but breakable and inelastic. 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.
These magnets are coated with standard Ni-Cu-Ni plating, which protects them in indoor conditions, but does not ensure full waterproofing. 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 12 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 (16 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 16 mm and thickness 2 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.68 kg (force ~6.62 N). The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 12 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external interference,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • Magnets possess impressive magnetic induction on the active area,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of detailed creating as well as adapting to complex needs,
  • Fundamental importance in future technologies – they are utilized in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and industrial machines.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the limit force, recorded under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

During everyday use, the real power is determined by many variables, listed from most significant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Handling rules

Be careful. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Risk of cracking

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

Heat sensitivity

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Health Danger

People with a heart stimulator have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Skin irritation risks

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Machining danger

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Electronic hazard

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Precision electronics

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Adults only

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.
