1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, 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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other proposals

It is ideally suited for places where solid attachment of the magnet to the substrate is required without the risk of detachment. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables easy screwing 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. 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. 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. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø20x5 mm and a weight of 11.04 g. The key parameter here is the holding force 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 neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their power is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface looks better,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Considering the possibility of precise forming and adaptation to unique requirements, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with zero gap (without impurities)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Bear in mind that the magnet holding will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Choking Hazard

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Safe distance

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Do not drill into magnets

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

Immense force

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Crushing force

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Warning for heart patients

Patients with a pacemaker must maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Maximum temperature

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Magnetic interference

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Warning for allergy sufferers

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If you have an allergy, refrain from direct skin contact and choose coated magnets.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.
