1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

The ring magnet with a hole MP 20x8/4x5 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, 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. 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 20x8/4x5 / 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.
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. 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. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø20 mm (outer diameter) and height 5 mm. 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. 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 and cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • In other words, due to the glossy surface of gold, the element gains a professional look,
  • Neodymium magnets ensure maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the capacity to adapt to complex applications,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they are used in magnetic memories, electric motors, diagnostic systems, also modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The force parameter is a measurement result conducted under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with total lack of distance (without paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In real-world applications, the actual holding force results from several key aspects, ranked from crucial:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Allergy Warning

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause dermatitis. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Shattering risk

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

GPS and phone interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Electronic devices

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

ICD Warning

Patients with a ICD have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Fire warning

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Caution required

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

This is not a toy

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and requires urgent medical intervention.

Operating temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Caution! Learn more about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
