Frequently asked questions

What is the hole in a ring magnet for?
For mounting on a screw or a shaft. The bore may be cylindrical or countersunk for a screw head. The hole removes magnet volume, so a ring holds less than a disc of the same outside diameter.
What is the polarisation?
Axial as standard — poles on the flat faces of the ring. Diametrical polarisation is made to order.
What sizes are available?
Outside diameter from 5 to 62 mm from stock. To order up to 200 mm outside diameter, 180 mm bore and 40 mm height, with a lead time of 25–35 days.

1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just ~20% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

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.

Pulling force


Field Strength

Other offers

It is ideally suited for places where solid attachment of the magnet to the substrate is required without the risk of detachment. Thanks to the hole (often for a screw), this model enables easy screwing to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. This product with a force of 0.77 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. 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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
The inner hole diameter determines the maximum size of the mounting element. If the magnet does not have a chamfer (cone), we recommend using a screw with a flat or cylindrical head, or possibly using a washer. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø5 mm (outer diameter) and height 3 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 0.77 kg, which translates to 7.50 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 1.5 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even over nearly ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Magnets effectively resist against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which increases force concentration,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of precise creating and optimizing to concrete conditions,
  • Fundamental importance in innovative solutions – they are utilized in data components, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose power 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 extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

It is worth knowing that the working load may be lower depending on the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Space between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings
Allergy Warning

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Crushing risk

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Permanent damage

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Phone sensors

GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Electronic devices

Powerful magnetic fields can corrupt files on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Fire risk

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Protective goggles

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets will cause them shattering into shards.

Swallowing risk

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is high, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Immense force

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

ICD Warning

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
