1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.13

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.

Magnet pull force

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. 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 is a crucial issue when working with model MP 20x10x5 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are hard but breakable and inelastic. When tightening the screw, you must maintain caution. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because too much pressure 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.
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. 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 (20 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø20x5 mm and a weight of 8.84 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 5.20 kg, which translates to 50.97 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 10 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 as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain full power for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they serve a role in computer drives, drive modules, medical devices, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize 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 very resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

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

The load parameter shown represents the peak performance, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Bear in mind that the application force may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Respect the power

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Do not overheat magnets

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Mechanical processing

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Implant safety

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Allergic reactions

Some people have a sensitization to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact can result in an allergic reaction. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Danger to the youngest

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Crushing force

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
