1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.31

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 products

The ring-shaped magnet MP 20x8/4x5 / N38 is created for permanent mounting, where glue might fail or be insufficient. 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 6.65 kg works great as a door latch, speaker holder, or mounting element in devices.
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.
These magnets are coated with standard Ni-Cu-Ni plating, which protects them in indoor conditions, but is not sufficient for rain. 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 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. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 20 mm and thickness 5 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 6.65 kg, which translates to 65.21 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 8/4 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even after nearly 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external fields,
  • In other words, due to the reflective layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom forming and adapting to precise requirements,
  • Significant place in modern technologies – they serve a role in hard drives, electric motors, medical devices, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Weaknesses

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength represents the peak performance, obtained under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Beware of splinters

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Nickel allergy

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Maximum temperature

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Fire warning

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

Do not give to children

Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Medical implants

Individuals with a heart stimulator should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Data carriers

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

Pinching danger

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

GPS and phone interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Respect the power

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.
