Frequently asked questions

What is the hole in a ring magnet for?
For mounting on a screw or a shaft. The bore may be cylindrical or countersunk for a screw head. The hole removes magnet volume, so a ring holds less than a disc of the same outside diameter.
What is the polarisation?
Axial as standard — poles on the flat faces of the ring. Diametrical polarisation is made to order.
What sizes are available?
Outside diameter from 5 to 62 mm from stock. To order up to 200 mm outside diameter, 180 mm bore and 40 mm height, with a lead time of 25–35 days.

1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens 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.

Magnet pull force


Magnetic Induction

View more 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. One turn too many can destroy the magnet, so do it slowly. 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. For magnets with a straight hole, a conical head can act like a wedge and burst the magnet. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 20 mm and thickness 5 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 6.49 kg (force ~63.68 N). The mounting hole diameter is precisely 5 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. When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Pros and cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately 10 years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnets have huge magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of precise creating as well as adjusting to defined applications,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical devices, also modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in stable room temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Bear in mind that the working load will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Protect data

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Immense force

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Material brittleness

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Precision electronics

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Allergic reactions

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. It is best to wear protective gloves.

Keep away from children

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Heat sensitivity

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Important! Learn more about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
