1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, 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 Induction

View also products

The ring-shaped magnet MP 40x20x5 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, 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. 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. One turn too many can destroy the magnet, so do it slowly. 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 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. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
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.
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 7.24 kg (force ~70.98 N). The mounting hole diameter is precisely 20 mm.
The poles are located on the planes with holes, not on the sides of the ring. 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 and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain full power for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an shiny finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which ensures high operational effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • In view of the option of accurate shaping and adaptation to individualized solutions, neodymium magnets can be modeled in a variety of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they find application in HDD drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their force 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 durability even at temperatures up to 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 stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • on a plate made of mild steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by even structure
  • with direct contact (without impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

In real-world applications, the real power results from several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Powerful field

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Material brittleness

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Choking Hazard

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Keep away from electronics

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of magnetometers in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Sensitization to coating

Certain individuals suffer from a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching may cause dermatitis. We strongly advise use safety gloves.

Do not overheat magnets

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

Machining danger

Dust created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Pacemakers

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Crushing force

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances place your hand between two attracting surfaces.
