1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*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.

Field Strength

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 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 great sensitivity. 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. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
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 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). When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their immense magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their power is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an elegant appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in forming and the capacity to modify to specific needs,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under standard conditions:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Real force is affected by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Magnetic media

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Fire risk

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Warning for heart patients

People with a pacemaker have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.

No play value

Strictly store magnets away from children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Crushing force

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

Nickel allergy

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact or opt for versions in plastic housing.

Heat sensitivity

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Safe operation

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Magnets are brittle

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them cracking into small pieces.
