1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.46

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.

Other deals

The ring magnet with a hole MP 8x6/3.5x3 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. This product with a force of 1.37 kg works great as a cabinet closure, speaker holder, or spacer element in devices.
This is a crucial issue when working with model MP 8x6/3.5x3 / 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.
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 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 (8 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
The presented product is a ring magnet with dimensions Ø8 mm (outer diameter) and height 3 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.37 kg (force ~13.48 N). The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 6/3.5 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. When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over nearly ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • Magnets very well protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets are distinguished by very high magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed forming and optimizing to complex applications,
  • Fundamental importance in high-tech industry – they are used in HDD drives, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The force parameter is a result of laboratory testing executed under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Real force is affected by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped to the other side.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Finger safety

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Choking Hazard

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Sensitization to coating

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Magnets are brittle

Beware of splinters. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Keep away from computers

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Conscious usage

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can react.

Keep away from electronics

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Health Danger

Individuals with a heart stimulator must maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.

Heat sensitivity

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you need operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
