1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, 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.

Other offers

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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø20x5 mm and a weight of 11.04 g. 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.
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.

Advantages

Apart from their notable power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even during nearly ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the smooth surface of silver, the element gains visual value,
  • Magnets possess excellent magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the capacity to customize to complex applications,
  • Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the maximum value, measured under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in stable room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force is influenced by working environment parameters, mainly (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Magnet fragility

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Fire risk

Dust generated during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Do not underestimate power

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Power loss in heat

Keep cool. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Allergic reactions

Some people have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling might lead to dermatitis. We suggest wear protective gloves.

GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Bone fractures

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Product not for children

These products are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Health Danger

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Magnetic media

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.
