1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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

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.

Magnetic Induction

View also products

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 quick installation 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 very brittle and inelastic. When tightening the screw, you must maintain great sensitivity. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because excessive force 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.
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 inside building 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 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. 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 as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their power is maintained, and after around 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets effectively resist against loss of magnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • By applying a lustrous layer of silver, the element gains an aesthetic look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a unique magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of detailed forming as well as modifying to complex needs,
  • Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, electric motors, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Bear in mind that the application force will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Medical interference

People with a heart stimulator should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Fire risk

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Skin irritation risks

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Electronic hazard

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Heat warning

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Material brittleness

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

This is not a toy

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.

Conscious usage

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.
