1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.24

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 also proposals

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 easy screwing to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. This product with a force of 2.78 kg works great as a door latch, speaker holder, or mounting 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 caution. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because excessive force will cause the ring to crack. 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. 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.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. 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 3 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 2.78 kg, which translates to 27.29 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 8/4 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. When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the smooth finish, the coating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an aesthetic appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Due to the ability of precise forming and adaptation to individualized needs, magnetic components can be created in a variety of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they are commonly used in HDD drives, drive modules, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Please note that the application force will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Skin irritation risks

A percentage of the population have a sensitization to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in skin redness. It is best to use protective gloves.

Respect the power

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

Cards and drives

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Product not for children

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Life threat

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Thermal limits

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and strength.

Crushing force

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Magnets are brittle

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Threat to navigation

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Combustion hazard

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

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