1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.13

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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Field

Other products

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 quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. It is also often used in advertising for fixing signs and in workshops for organizing tools.
This material behaves more like porcelain than steel, so it doesn't forgive mistakes during mounting. 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.
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. 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.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 20 mm and thickness 5 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 5.82 kg, which translates to 57.06 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 8 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They are noted for resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • Thanks to the glossy finish, the layer of nickel, gold, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Magnets exhibit extremely high magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to versatility in designing and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in HDD drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, also modern systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, 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 lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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 casing - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, recorded under optimal environment, specifically:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity results from a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings
Do not give to children

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are life-threatening.

Skin irritation risks

Some people have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. We suggest use protective gloves.

Thermal limits

Monitor thermal conditions. Exposing the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Medical implants

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

Cards and drives

Very strong magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Fragile material

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Immense force

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Fire warning

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Serious injuries

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
