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 wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically 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) = 1.13

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.

Magnetic Induction

See more proposals

The ring-shaped magnet MP 20x10x5 / N38 is created for mechanical fastening, where glue might fail or be insufficient. Mounting is clean and reversible, unlike gluing. 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 20x10x5 / N38. Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are hard but breakable and inelastic. One turn too many can destroy the magnet, so do it slowly. 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. 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. For magnets with a straight hole, a conical head can act like a wedge and burst the magnet. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
It is a magnetic ring with a diameter of 20 mm and thickness 5 mm. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 5.20 kg, which translates to 50.97 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 10 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. We do not offer paired sets with marked poles in this category, but they are easy to match manually.

Strengths and weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength is durable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of accurate modeling and optimizing to atypical needs,
  • Wide application in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their power under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 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 resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat affects it?

Holding force of 5.20 kg is a result of laboratory testing executed under standard conditions:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or unevenness) diminishes the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Base massiveness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Surface quality – the more even the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Physical harm

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Respect the power

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even experienced users. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their power.

Health Danger

Individuals with a pacemaker must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the implant.

Protective goggles

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is delicate and cannot withstand shocks. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Flammability

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Skin irritation risks

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Danger to the youngest

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating a few magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a direct threat to life and requires immediate surgery.

Keep away from electronics

Be aware: rare earth magnets generate a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

Maximum temperature

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).
