1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 1.14

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.

The ring magnet with a hole MP 20x8x6 / N38 is created for permanent mounting, 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. This product with a force of 7.22 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or spacer element in devices.
This material behaves more like porcelain than steel, so it doesn't forgive mistakes during mounting. 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 can be damaged when tightening the screw, which will become a corrosion focus. This product is dedicated for indoor use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders or additional protection with varnish.
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 Ø20x6 mm and a weight of 11.88 g. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 7.22 kg (force ~70.81 N). 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). When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • By using a smooth layer of gold, the element gains an modern look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • 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...
  • Due to the possibility of free shaping and customization to custom projects, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which amplifies use scope,
  • Key role in modern technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Neodymium magnets lose force when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of strength (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent 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 are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Please note that the application force will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Health Danger

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Do not drill into magnets

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Safe operation

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Power loss in heat

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Threat to electronics

Do not bring magnets near a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Metal Allergy

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Phone sensors

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

Crushing force

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Adults only

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.
