1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 1.13

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 20x8x5 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables easy screwing to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. 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 20x8x5 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are hard but breakable and inelastic. When tightening the screw, you must maintain great sensitivity. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because too much pressure 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. In the place of the mounting hole, the coating is thinner and easily scratched when tightening the screw, which will become a corrosion focus. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 8 mm fits this model. 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.
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. In the case of connecting two rings, make sure one is turned the right way. We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Neodymium magnets are remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external interference,
  • The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet is very high,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to modify to client solutions,
  • Key role in high-tech industry – they serve a role in computer drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is relatively high,

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Magnet power was determined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (no paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Key elements affecting lifting force

Holding efficiency is affected by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be lost to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Keep away from computers

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Maintain a gap of min. 10 cm.

No play value

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Powerful field

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Hand protection

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Avoid contact if allergic

Some people experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause skin redness. We recommend wear protective gloves.

Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Do not overheat magnets

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Dust is flammable

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Danger to pacemakers

Life threat: Strong magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
