1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Magnetic Induction

See more offers

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. 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. When tightening the screw, you must maintain great sensitivity. 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.
These magnets are coated with standard Ni-Cu-Ni plating, which protects them in indoor conditions, but is not sufficient for rain. In the place of the mounting hole, the coating is thinner and easily scratched 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.
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.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 16 mm and thickness 2 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 0.68 kg, which translates to 6.62 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power is durable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the layer of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • Magnets have very high magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the possibility of accurate shaping and adaptation to specialized solutions, NdFeB magnets can be modeled in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they find application in data components, drive modules, precision medical tools, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The load parameter shown refers to the maximum value, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with direct contact (no coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Real force is affected by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface finish – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Medical implants

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Product not for children

These products are not toys. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Magnets are brittle

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Conscious usage

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Fire warning

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

Cards and drives

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Nickel allergy

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Compass and GPS

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, device, and GPS.
