1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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.

Magnetic Induction

The ring magnet with a hole MP 20x8/4x5 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. This product with a force of 6.65 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or spacer 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. 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 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 key parameter here is the holding force 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. 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over around 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • Thanks to the metallic finish, the surface of nickel, gold, or silver gives an professional appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • In view of the possibility of accurate shaping and customization to specialized needs, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they find application in hard drives, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures 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.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what contributes to it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

In practice, the real power depends on many variables, ranked from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, 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 and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Do not give to children

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Shattering risk

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

Bodily injuries

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Health Danger

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Conscious usage

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Avoid contact if allergic

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to a rash. We suggest wear safety gloves.

Electronic hazard

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, timepieces).

Permanent damage

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).
