1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

Magnetic Field

Other products

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. 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. 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.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 16 mm and thickness 3 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.78 kg (force ~27.29 N). The mounting hole diameter is precisely 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. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They possess excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • By applying a reflective coating of silver, the element has an modern look,
  • Magnets are distinguished by excellent magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of precise creating as well as modifying to specific conditions,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in HDD drives, brushless drives, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the limit force, recorded under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (metal-to-metal)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Conscious usage

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Medical implants

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Heat sensitivity

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.

Bone fractures

Big blocks can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Safe distance

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that nickel (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid direct skin contact or select versions in plastic housing.

GPS and phone interference

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Risk of cracking

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

Do not drill into magnets

Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Do not give to children

Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.
