1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, 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

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.

Magnetic Induction

Other proposals

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 easy screwing to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. This product with a force of 6.65 kg works great as a door latch, speaker holder, or mounting element in devices.
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 caution. 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.
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. 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. Always check that the screw head is not larger than the outer diameter of the magnet (20 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø20x5 mm and a weight of 11.31 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 6.65 kg, which translates to 65.21 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 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. When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their notable holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • Thanks to the smooth finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is extremely intense,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the option of precise shaping and adaptation to custom projects, magnetic components can be manufactured in a wide range of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Weaknesses

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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 possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, obtained under optimal environment, meaning:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature room level

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency impacted by working environment parameters, including (from most important):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Keep away from computers

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Conscious usage

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

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Warning for heart patients

Individuals with a heart stimulator should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the life-saving device.

Permanent damage

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Crushing force

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.

Eye protection

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Sensitization to coating

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Choking Hazard

Always keep magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.
