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.

Magnetic force drops significantly with every mm of gap. Keep in mind that even the smallest gap (e.g., dirt, paint, dust) noticeably diminishes the holding power. Magnets operate optimally in perfect adhesion; air break kills the force. See how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the product does not touch directly to the steel surface. When designing the arrangement, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

The following data indicates the approximate shear load sufficient to cause the sliding of the magnet vertically along a vertical steel wall (assuming typical friction coefficient). This parameter depends on the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

When mounting a element on a vertical plane (e.g., a fridge), it will only hold barely about 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient mean that magnets slide down faster than they pop off the substrate. Planning a wall mount? Note that the shear force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the element will slide down under a significantly smaller load. Using a rubber layer can drastically increase the grip.

A thin sheet cannot conduct the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the magnet. If you install a neodymium to a weak sheet, the flux will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To squeeze 100% of this neodymium's power, you need a suitably thick backing of metal. The material oversaturation causes that on thin elements (e.g., car bodies), the product shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel cross-section according to the table below.

Ordinary NdFeB products lose power after exceeding the maximum temperature. Watch out for overheating – high temperature can irreversibly destroy this product. With increasing heat, the neodymium's force temporarily decreases. Refrain from using this product close to heaters exceeding its working range. Ignoring the limit will cause irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.
*Important note: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (low permeance coefficient) may lose charge permanently at lower temperatures compared to rod magnets. Warning indicator in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnets interact from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and sheet setup. The connection of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a wider radius of action. Designing a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the impact force is huge. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Important: Estimates refer to sliding force of two same magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Powerful magnet radiation poses a serious hazard to electronic devices and medical implants. These NdFeB products generate a field that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the unseen radiation passes through tissues and housings. Special caution must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, membranes, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, HDD media, or sensitive navigation tools.

NdFeB products are delicate – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Impact energy can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to skin. Be sure to control the product during installation so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h ends with a crack of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when handling with large magnets.

Rust risk: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!
Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 0.83

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.

It is ideally suited for places where solid attachment of the magnet to the substrate is required without the risk of detachment. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. This product with a force of 0.75 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or spacer 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 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 does not ensure full waterproofing. 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.
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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø5x5 mm and a weight of 0.69 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 0.75 kg, which translates to 7.31 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 2.7/1.2 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to external fields,
  • In other words, due to the metallic finish of nickel, the element gains visual value,
  • Magnetic induction on the working layer of the magnet turns out to be very high,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of accurate modeling as well as adjusting to concrete applications,
  • Key role in modern industrial fields – they are used in hard drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and industrial machines.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditions – what affects it?

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under the following configuration:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the application force will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Keep away from electronics

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Safe distance

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

No play value

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Fragile material

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

Crushing force

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so great that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Safe operation

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Do not overheat magnets

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its magnetic structure and strength.

Allergy Warning

Some people have a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in skin redness. It is best to wear protective gloves.

ICD Warning

Patients with a ICD have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the life-saving device.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.
