1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

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

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.

The ring magnet with a hole 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 quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. This product with a force of 7.24 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. 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 inside building use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders 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.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø40 mm (outer diameter) and height 5 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 7.24 kg, which translates to 70.98 N in newtons. 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. 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 Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their tremendous pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their power is maintained, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They have excellent resistance to weakening of magnetic properties due to external magnetic sources,
  • By covering with a reflective coating of nickel, the element presents an proper look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to customize to individual projects,
  • Huge importance in electronics industry – they are used in HDD drives, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to 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.
  • Due to limitations in creating nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

Holding force of 7.24 kg is a measurement result conducted under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the magnet holding may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Keep away from electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Sensitization to coating

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Life threat

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

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Wear goggles.

Permanent damage

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Flammability

Dust created during grinding of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Electronic hazard

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Respect the power

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can react.

Danger to the youngest

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.
