1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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 also deals

The ring-shaped magnet MP 20x5x5 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. This product with a force of 6.49 kg works great as a door latch, speaker holder, or spacer element in devices.
This is a crucial issue when working with model MP 20x5x5 / 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 excessive force 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. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø20 mm (outer diameter) and height 5 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 6.49 kg, which translates to 63.68 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 5 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 and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their power is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets have very high magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • In view of the potential of precise shaping and adaptation to specialized solutions, neodymium magnets can be produced in a variety of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they find application in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of creating threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

The load parameter shown represents the maximum value, recorded under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at room temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

During everyday use, the real power is determined by a number of factors, listed from most significant:
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Permanent damage

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.

Fire warning

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Electronic devices

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Product not for children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

GPS Danger

Remember: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Hand protection

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Safe operation

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and respect their power.

Life threat

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.
