1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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

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

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 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. 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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. This product is dedicated for inside building use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders or additional protection with varnish.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. 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 mounting hole diameter is precisely 8/4 mm.
These magnets are magnetized axially (through the thickness), which means one flat side is the N pole and the other is S. 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). We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • In other words, due to the aesthetic finish of gold, the element looks attractive,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in constructing and the capacity to modify to individual projects,
  • Fundamental importance in electronics industry – they are used in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, as well as industrial machines.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore when using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

Magnet power was determined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

It is worth knowing that the application force will differ depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Flammability

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Life threat

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Metal Allergy

Some people have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause a rash. We suggest use safety gloves.

Choking Hazard

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Hand protection

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Immense force

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

Keep away from electronics

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Protective goggles

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Permanent damage

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its properties and pulling force.

Warning! Learn more about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
