1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, 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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Field

Other proposals

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. 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.
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. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
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.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø20 mm (outer diameter) and height 5 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 6.65 kg (force ~65.21 N). 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. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external fields,
  • The use of an refined layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • Magnets are characterized by excellent magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of individual shaping and adjusting to specific needs,
  • Key role in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in mass storage devices, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished contact surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at temperature room level

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

In practice, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be wasted into the air.
  • Plate material – mild steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Threat to navigation

An intense magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.

Machining danger

Powder generated during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.

Bone fractures

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact and select encased magnets.

ICD Warning

Individuals with a pacemaker must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Permanent damage

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

No play value

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store away from kids and pets.

Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Protect data

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Caution! Details about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
