1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.20

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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Field

See also 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 20x8/4x3 / 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. The flat screw head should evenly press the magnet. Remember: cracking during assembly results from material properties, not a product defect.
These magnets are coated with standard Ni-Cu-Ni plating, which protects them in indoor conditions, but is not sufficient for rain. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. This product is dedicated for indoor 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 8/4 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. 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.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø20 mm (outer diameter) and height 3 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 3.14 kg, which translates to 30.79 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 8/4 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 neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the plating of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver gives an modern appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed forming and adapting to defined requirements,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the limit force, obtained under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Magnetic media

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Maximum temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Danger to pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

This is not a toy

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Precision electronics

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.

Crushing force

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

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.

Beware of splinters

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Safe operation

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
