1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, 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

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 16x12x2 / 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 is a crucial issue when working with model MP 16x12x2 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle and inelastic. 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 does not ensure full waterproofing. 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 magnets in hermetic housing or additional protection with varnish.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. 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.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø16 mm (outer diameter) and height 2 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 0.68 kg, which translates to 6.62 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 12 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.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • By applying a shiny coating of nickel, the element gains an modern look,
  • Magnets possess maximum magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the ability of flexible shaping and adaptation to custom projects, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

During everyday use, the real power depends on a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings
Keep away from children

These products are not toys. Eating a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Safe distance

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Protective goggles

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

Medical interference

Patients with a ICD have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the functioning of the life-saving device.

Powerful field

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Power loss in heat

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Allergic reactions

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Do not drill into magnets

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Crushing force

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Caution! Learn more about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
