Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 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.

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. When tightening the screw, you must maintain caution. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because too much pressure will cause the ring to crack. 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. 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.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. For magnets with a straight hole, a conical head can act like a wedge and burst the magnet. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø20x5 mm and a weight of 11.31 g. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 6.65 kg (force ~65.21 N). 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. We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a metallic gold surface is more attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the option of precise forming and adaptation to individualized solutions, magnetic components can be modeled in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they find application in data components, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • Limited ability of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value conducted under standard conditions:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost 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, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Finger safety

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Life threat

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Do not overheat magnets

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Product not for children

Absolutely keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Magnetic media

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Allergic reactions

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Phone sensors

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Handling guide

Before starting, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
