1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens 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) = 1.66

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 5x1.5x3 / N38 is created for permanent mounting, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. This product with a force of 0.77 kg works great as a door latch, speaker holder, or spacer element in devices.
This is a crucial issue when working with model MP 5x1.5x3 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are hard but breakable and inelastic. When tightening the screw, you must maintain great sensitivity. We recommend tightening manually with a screwdriver, not an impact driver, because too much pressure 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.
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. This product is dedicated for inside building 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. Always check that the screw head is not larger than the outer diameter of the magnet (5 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x3 mm and a weight of 0.4 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 0.77 kg, which translates to 7.50 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 1.5 mm.
The poles are located on the planes with holes, not on the sides of the ring. 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.

Strengths

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under close interference source,
  • In other words, due to the glossy surface of gold, the element looks attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of accurate forming as well as optimizing to specific conditions,
  • Wide application in high-tech industry – they serve a role in mass storage devices, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (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 extremely resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is relatively high,

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under the following configuration:
  • on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Bear in mind that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity was measured with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Machining danger

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Do not give to children

Always store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Risk of cracking

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Safe distance

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of at least 10 cm.

Magnetic interference

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, tablet, and navigation systems.

Handling rules

Be careful. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Crushing force

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Nickel allergy

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.
