1. Shear force

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the safety limit 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.

Magnet pull force

Field Strength

Other proposals

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. 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.
Moisture can penetrate micro-cracks in the coating and cause oxidation of the magnet. In the place of the mounting hole, the coating is thinner and easily scratched 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.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. 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 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. 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • By using a lustrous coating of gold, the element has an elegant look,
  • Magnets exhibit huge magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose force 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 very resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of creating threads in the magnet and complicated forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditionswhat affects it?

The force parameter is a measurement result executed under standard conditions:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any air gap between the magnet and steel
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity results from several key aspects, ranked from the most important:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets
Serious injuries

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Danger to the youngest

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Do not overheat magnets

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Respect the power

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Warning for heart patients

Patients with a pacemaker have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are fragile like glass. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into small pieces.

Threat to electronics

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Nickel allergy

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or select versions in plastic housing.
