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.

Grip strength drops sharply with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Remember that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, varnish, veneer) significantly diminishes the holding power. Neodymiums operate strongest at the point of direct contact; distance kills the force. Observe how quickly the parameters plummet, when the magnet does not touch flatly to the steel surface. When planning the mounting, discard redundant distances.

This section defines the approximate holding capacity required to start the shifting of the magnet downwards along a upright steel wall (considering standard friction). This parameter varies with the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

When placing a magnet on a upright wall (e.g., a car body), it will maintain only about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravity and a low friction coefficient cause that magnets slide down faster than they pull off. Planning a vertical fastening? Note that the shear force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the holder will slide down under a significantly smaller cargo. Utilizing a rubberized layer can significantly increase the grip.

A thin sheet is unable to conduct the entire magnetic field, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. If you mount a strong magnet to a too thin substrate, the field will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve 100% of this magnet's potential, you need a suitably thick backing of steel. The material oversaturation means that on thin elements (e.g., car bodies), the product holds weaker. We recommend selecting the steel dimension from these parameters.

Ordinary NdFeB products lose parameters after exceeding the maximum temperature. Protect against heat – heat can irreversibly demagnetize this magnet. With every degree above norm, the magnet's force temporarily lowers. Avoid using this magnet in hot environments higher than its safe range. Exceeding the critical threshold will result in permanent loss of magnetism.
*Important note: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Low-profile magnets (pancake types) risk losing magnetic properties sooner compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table indicates a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnets attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel setup. The connection of magnet-to-magnet creates a more powerful interaction and a wider radius of action. Want to build a solid fastener? Utilize two neodymiums instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when bringing together two magnets, the impact force is huge. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still large.
*Flux density for N-N configuration reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Note: Figures refer to friction force of a pair of matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Extremely neodym field is a serious hazard to IT equipment as well as medical implants. These magnets generate a flux that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the unseen radiation acts through matter and plastic. Special caution must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, car keys, speakers, and screens. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Magnetic elements are delicate – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Impact energy can cause material chips or painful pinches to fingers. Hold the magnet firmly during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the magnet. Use safety goggles when working with powerful specimens.

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Vertical hold

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

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*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

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. 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 is a crucial issue when working with model MP 22x6x10 / 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 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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. 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. Aesthetic mounting requires selecting the appropriate head size.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø22x10 mm and a weight of 26.39 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 13.65 kg, which translates to 133.89 N in newtons. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating and is made of NdFeB material. Inner hole dimension: 6 mm.
The poles are located on the planes with holes, not on the sides of the ring. 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.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even after around ten years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • The use of an elegant finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of detailed forming and modifying to defined needs,
  • Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are used in data components, motor assemblies, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as 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 immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

Breakaway force was determined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, guaranteeing maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Real force impacted by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Plate thickness – too thin plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Immense force

Handle magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their power.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We suggest use safety gloves.

Cards and drives

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Demagnetization risk

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Threat to navigation

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Fire warning

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Finger safety

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Do not give to children

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Medical interference

Patients with a ICD must keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the life-saving device.
