1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 1.16

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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Field

Other deals

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. 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.
These magnets are coated with standard Ni-Cu-Ni plating, which protects them in indoor conditions, but is not sufficient for rain. 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 Ø20x27 mm and a weight of 59.64 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 10.36 kg, which translates to 101.60 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 5 mm.
The poles are located on the planes with holes, not on the sides of the ring. 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). When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their notable magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • The use of an elegant coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the potential of free forming and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be modeled in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Key role in electronics industry – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop 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 resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with direct contact (no coatings)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Please note that the application force will differ subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Medical implants

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Eye protection

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Do not overheat magnets

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Swallowing risk

NdFeB magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Mechanical processing

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.

Threat to navigation

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Finger safety

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Conscious usage

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.
