1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, 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.

Magnetic Induction

View more proposals

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 easily scratched 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.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 5 mm fits this model. 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 6.49 kg, which translates to 63.68 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even during around 10 years – the reduction in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • Thanks to the shimmering finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet turns out to be exceptional,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in shaping and the capacity to adapt to client solutions,
  • Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they are utilized in mass storage devices, electric motors, medical devices, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength refers to the peak performance, measured under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Effective lifting capacity is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Health Danger

Patients with a heart stimulator must maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Keep away from children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from kids and pets.

Allergic reactions

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Do not overheat magnets

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

Material brittleness

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Do not underestimate power

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.

Dust explosion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Hand protection

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Never place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
