Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 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.

Field Strength

Other proposals

The ring magnet with a hole MP 16x8/4x3 / N38 is created for permanent mounting, where glue might fail or be insufficient. 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 flexible washer 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 rubberized holders or additional protection with varnish.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 8/4 mm fits this model. 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 mounting hole diameter is precisely 8/4 mm.
The poles are located on the planes with holes, not on the sides of the ring. 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 as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • By applying a smooth coating of silver, the element has an modern look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to modify to specific needs,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises 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.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Limited possibility of producing nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, namely:
  • with the use of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In practice, the real power is determined by many variables, ranked from most significant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Protect data

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Risk of cracking

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Immense force

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Product not for children

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Impact on smartphones

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Allergy Warning

Certain individuals have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact can result in dermatitis. We suggest wear safety gloves.

Power loss in heat

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

Medical implants

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.
