1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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

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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Induction

See more 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. It is also often used in advertising for fixing signs and in workshops for organizing tools.
This is a crucial issue when working with model MP 8x6/3.5x3 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle and inelastic. One turn too many can destroy the magnet, so do it slowly. It's a good idea to use a flexible washer under the screw head, which will cushion the stresses. 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. If you must use it outside, paint it with anti-corrosion paint after mounting.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 6/3.5 mm fits this model. 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.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x3 mm and a weight of 0.91 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 1.37 kg, which translates to 13.48 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 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. 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • By using a reflective layer of nickel, the element has an elegant look,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Considering the ability of flexible shaping and adaptation to specialized projects, neodymium magnets can be produced in a variety of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
  • Universal use in modern technologies – they serve a role in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Disadvantages

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in steel cases. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 1.37 kg is a result of laboratory testing conducted under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • with a cross-section minimum 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • without the slightest clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in stable room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Fire risk

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Respect the power

Before use, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Health Danger

People with a heart stimulator should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Safe distance

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on credit cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Skin irritation risks

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands and opt for versions in plastic housing.

GPS Danger

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Physical harm

Large magnets can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Never put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Thermal limits

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Fragile material

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.
