1. Sliding resistance

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds merely approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.14

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-shaped magnet MP 20x8x6 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. 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 20x8x6 / 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. 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.
These magnets are coated with standard Ni-Cu-Ni plating, which protects them in indoor conditions, but does not ensure full waterproofing. In the place of the mounting hole, the coating is thinner and easily scratched when tightening the screw, which will become a corrosion focus. This product is dedicated for indoor use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing magnets in hermetic housing 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.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø20 mm (outer diameter) and height 6 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 7.22 kg (force ~70.81 N). The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 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 neodymium magnets.

Pros

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even after nearly 10 years – the drop in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
  • Thanks to the reflective finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold-plated, or silver gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Magnets are characterized by maximum magnetic induction on the active area,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of detailed machining as well as adapting to individual needs,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they find application in hard drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, also modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • without the slightest air gap between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

During everyday use, the real power depends on many variables, listed from the most important:
  • Distance – the presence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Medical interference

People with a pacemaker must keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Bodily injuries

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Handling guide

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Electronic hazard

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, medical aids, timepieces).

Avoid contact if allergic

A percentage of the population suffer from a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Swallowing risk

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Dust is flammable

Dust created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Demagnetization risk

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
