1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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

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.

The ring magnet with a hole MP 20x8/4x5 / N38 is created for permanent mounting, 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 spacer 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 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. 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.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. For magnets with a straight hole, a conical head can act like a wedge and burst the magnet. 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 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. 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an elegant appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to modify to individual projects,
  • Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are used in HDD drives, drive modules, medical devices, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat affects it?

Magnet power was determined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at temperature room level

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Fire warning

Powder produced during grinding of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Protect data

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Medical implants

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Allergy Warning

It is widely known that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.

Material brittleness

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

No play value

Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Safe operation

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Stay alert and respect their power.

Heat warning

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.
