1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, the max working temp 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.

The ring magnet with a hole MP 20x10x5 / 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. When tightening the screw, you must maintain great sensitivity. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because too much pressure 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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. This product is dedicated for indoor 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. 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.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 20 mm and thickness 5 mm. 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for around ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Neodymium magnets remain highly resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the possibility of free molding and adaptation to specialized needs, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they serve a role in HDD drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and 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 - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

Holding force of 5.20 kg is a theoretical maximum value performed under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at temperature room level

Key elements affecting lifting force

During everyday use, the actual holding force results from several key aspects, presented from crucial:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Danger to the youngest

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Mechanical processing

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Serious injuries

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so great that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Fragile material

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Implant safety

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Safe operation

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Heat sensitivity

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Magnetic media

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, immediately stop handling magnets and use protective gear.
