Frequently asked questions

What is the hole in a ring magnet for?
For mounting on a screw or a shaft. The bore may be cylindrical or countersunk for a screw head. The hole removes magnet volume, so a ring holds less than a disc of the same outside diameter.
What is the polarisation?
Axial as standard — poles on the flat faces of the ring. Diametrical polarisation is made to order.
What sizes are available?
Outside diameter from 5 to 62 mm from stock. To order up to 200 mm outside diameter, 180 mm bore and 40 mm height, with a lead time of 25–35 days.

1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.90

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.

Magnetic Field

Other proposals

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 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. 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 magnets in hermetic housing or additional protection with varnish.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 16 mm fits this model. For magnets with a straight hole, a conical head can act like a wedge and burst the magnet. Always check that the screw head is not larger than the outer diameter of the magnet (32 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 32 mm and thickness 3 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.79 kg (force ~27.40 N). The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 16 mm.
These magnets are magnetized axially (through the thickness), which means one flat side is the N pole and the other is S. In the case of connecting two rings, make sure one is turned the right way. When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over around ten years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • By covering with a shiny coating of silver, the element gains an modern look,
  • Neodymium magnets create maximum magnetic induction on a contact point, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of accurate forming and optimizing to complex conditions,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they find application in computer drives, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • 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
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and 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 usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is a housing - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • using a base made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be lost into the air.
  • Plate material – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Threat to navigation

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Protect data

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Dust is flammable

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.

Medical interference

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Safe operation

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

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Thermal limits

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.

This is not a toy

These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.
