1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*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.

Magnet pull force

Magnetic Field

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 quick installation to wood, wall, plastic, or metal. It is also often used in advertising for fixing signs and in workshops for organizing tools.
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. It's a good idea to use a rubber spacer 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. This product is dedicated for indoor use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders or additional protection with varnish.
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.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 8 mm and thickness 3 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 1.37 kg, which translates to 13.48 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 6/3.5 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over around 10 years – the drop in power is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the potential of flexible shaping and adaptation to individualized needs, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which increases their versatility,
  • Key role in advanced technology sectors – they are used in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, also industrial machines.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also increases their 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the maximum value, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In practice, the actual lifting capacity depends on several key aspects, presented from most significant:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Fire warning

Powder generated during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Permanent damage

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) lose magnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Life threat

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Impact on smartphones

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Metal Allergy

A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Eye protection

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Pinching danger

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Handling rules

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Stay alert and respect their power.

No play value

Product intended for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Magnetic media

Intense magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.
