1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.17

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 40x10.4/5.5x5 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. This product with a force of 9.47 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or mounting element in devices.
This material behaves more like porcelain than steel, so it doesn't forgive mistakes during mounting. One turn too many can destroy the magnet, so do it slowly. It's a good idea to use a flexible washer 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 is not sufficient for rain. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 10.4/5.5 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 Ø40 mm (outer diameter) and height 5 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 9.47 kg (force ~92.86 N). The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 10.4/5.5 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • In other words, due to the metallic layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnets have very high magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the option of accurate forming and adaptation to unique solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 9.47 kg is a measurement result performed under standard conditions:
  • on a block made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground contact surface
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In practice, the actual lifting capacity results from a number of factors, listed from the most important:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Steel thickness – too thin sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Crushing force

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

GPS Danger

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Nickel allergy

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Maximum temperature

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Material brittleness

Despite the nickel coating, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Electronic devices

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

Choking Hazard

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Swallowing multiple magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Dust is flammable

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Handling guide

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

Implant safety

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
