1. Shear force

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.80

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.

Magnetic Field

Other products

It is ideally suited for places where solid attachment of the magnet to the substrate is required without the risk of detachment. 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 40x20x5 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are hard but breakable and inelastic. 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 does not ensure full waterproofing. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. This product is dedicated for inside building 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 20 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 Ø40x5 mm and a weight of 35.34 g. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 7.24 kg (force ~70.98 N). The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 20 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. We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • Their power is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • By covering with a lustrous coating of gold, the element has an elegant look,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Due to the potential of precise forming and customization to custom needs, magnetic components can be created in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The specified lifting capacity represents the peak performance, measured under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by even structure
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, mainly (from priority):
  • Space between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Impact on smartphones

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

Danger to pacemakers

Patients with a heart stimulator should maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the implant.

Serious injuries

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Heat warning

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Dust is flammable

Powder created during cutting of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Skin irritation risks

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and opt for coated magnets.

Adults only

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Beware of splinters

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Electronic devices

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Handling rules

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their power.

Caution! Details about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
