1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits 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) = 0.31

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 mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. 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 flexible washer 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.
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.
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.

Pros

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the drop is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Magnets perfectly defend themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the plating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be maximum,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to modify to individual projects,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they are utilized in hard drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as 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 start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

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

Magnet power was determined for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

In practice, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Do not give to children

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Compass and GPS

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Electronic devices

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Protective goggles

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

Safe operation

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Implant safety

Patients with a ICD should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Dust explosion hazard

Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Metal Allergy

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and use protective gear.
