1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 material, the safety 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 Induction

Other offers

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 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 very brittle and inelastic. When tightening the screw, you must maintain great sensitivity. 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. 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. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø20x5 mm and a weight of 9.9 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 5.82 kg, which translates to 57.06 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 8 mm.
These magnets are magnetized axially (through the thickness), which means one flat side is the N pole and the other is S. 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • In other words, due to the glossy layer of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom creating as well as modifying to complex applications,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force 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 - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components 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

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature room level

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on many variables, ranked from the most important:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Mechanical processing

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Choking Hazard

NdFeB magnets are not suitable for play. Eating several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Implant safety

People with a heart stimulator have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Protect data

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Finger safety

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Precision electronics

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Eye protection

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Do not overheat magnets

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its magnetic structure and strength.

Nickel allergy

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, refrain from direct skin contact and select coated magnets.

Immense force

Use magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.
