1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the critical 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.

It is ideally suited for places where solid attachment of the magnet to the substrate is required without the risk of detachment. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. 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. One turn too many can destroy the magnet, so do it slowly. It's a good idea to use a rubber spacer 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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
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 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. 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over nearly 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • In other words, due to the shiny finish of silver, the element gains a professional look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to customize to unusual requirements,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they find application in hard drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat contributes to it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the maximum value, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity results from many variables, ranked from most significant:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Allergy Warning

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.

Protect data

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, hearing aids, timepieces).

Warning for heart patients

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Fire warning

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Permanent damage

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Eye protection

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Conscious usage

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Adults only

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
