1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

*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.

Magnet pull force


Magnetic Induction

Check out 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. This product with a force of 0.68 kg works great as a door latch, speaker holder, or spacer 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 great sensitivity. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because excessive force 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 can be damaged when tightening the screw, which will become a corrosion focus. This product is dedicated for inside building 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø16x2 mm and a weight of 1.32 g. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.68 kg (force ~6.62 N). 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. 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). 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.

Pros

Apart from their consistent magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • By using a shiny coating of gold, the element gains an nice look,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of exact modeling as well as optimizing to precise applications,
  • Wide application in future technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, measured under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force is affected by specific conditions, such as (from priority):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Demagnetization risk

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

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Skin irritation risks

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and select coated magnets.

Material brittleness

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Threat to navigation

Remember: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Do not underestimate power

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

Threat to electronics

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

Choking Hazard

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.

Security! More info about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
