1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the critical 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.

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. 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. In the place of the mounting hole, the coating is thinner and can be damaged when tightening the screw, which will become a corrosion focus. This product is dedicated for inside building use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø20x5 mm and a weight of 11.04 g. 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.
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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their strong magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Neodymium magnets remain remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external field sources,
  • By applying a lustrous layer of silver, the element has an aesthetic look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Considering the option of precise molding and customization to specialized projects, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which makes them more universal,
  • Universal use in innovative solutions – they are utilized in computer drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Real force is affected by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Physical harm

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Beware of splinters

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Nickel allergy

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Implant safety

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Flammability

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Maximum temperature

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Caution required

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Cards and drives

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Keep away from children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Threat to navigation

Be aware: neodymium magnets produce a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.
