Frequently asked questions

Where can I compare prices of ring magnets for mounting in Poland?
The DHIT price list and individual product cards show the available ring magnets and their current prices. Compare the outside diameter, hole diameter, height, grade and quantity before ordering.
Are ring magnets resistant to damage?
NdFeB is brittle and may crack on impact or when magnets collide. A coating or suitable housing can provide additional protection, but a screw must not place excessive stress on the magnet. Check the mounting instructions for the selected model.
Which ring magnet is suitable for an outdoor structure?
Check the coating, protection against moisture and the temperature reached at the actual installation site. An unprotected magnet should not be assumed suitable for continuous water exposure. Compare the conditions with the selected product card.
Where can I check the available sizes of neodymium ring magnets?
The category and price list show the dimensions of available models. Each product card gives the outside diameter, inside diameter and height. If a suitable size is missing, ask about a custom version.

Grip strength weakens drastically with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Remember that even a very thin break (e.g., contamination, paint, rust) significantly weakens the grip. Neodymiums operate strongest at the point of direct contact; distance kills the force. Notice how flashily the pull force drop, when the product does not adhere tightly to the metal substrate. When calculating the arrangement, discard additional spacers.

The following data calculates the estimated shear load necessary to cause the slippage of the magnet vertically along a vertical steel wall (considering typical friction coefficient). The holding force depends on the distance between the magnet and the metal.

When hanging a holder on a vertical wall (e.g., a car body), it will only hold barely approx. 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip mean that magnets move down easier than they pop off the substrate. Want to create a hanger? Note that the sliding force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the holder will slip down under a noticeably lighter load. Application of an anti-slip pad can significantly increase the grip.

A too thin steel is incapable of absorb the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the holder. Should you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the field will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve full efficiency of this neodymium's potential, you need a suitably thick piece of metal. The saturation effect causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the product shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel dimension based on the following data.

The table estimates the reversible force change relative to 20°C, assuming a Br coefficient of -0.11%/°C and force proportional to Br². This is a simplified model with unchanged contact and geometry, not a measurement. Above the material limit, neither force nor irreversible magnetization loss is predicted.
The temperature limit comes from this product’s material data. Permissible conditions also depend on geometry and the magnetic circuit. Without B-H curves for the specific grade and temperature, Pc alone does not determine irreversible demagnetization. Values within the material range do not guarantee the allowable temperature of the complete assembly.

Two strong neodymiums interact from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel combination. The setup of two magnets produces a massive flux and a further horizon of operation. Designing a strong closure? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is extreme. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the connection force, but still significant.
*Field value in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Note: Results apply to friction force of dual identical neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Magnetic elements are delicate – a violent impact against metal can result in shattering. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Kinetic force can cause material chips or dangerous crushing to skin. Always hold the magnet during mounting so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Use safety goggles when handling with powerful specimens.

Corrosion warning: Standard nickel requires drying after every contact with moisture; lack of maintenance will lead to rust spots.
Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

N38: the maximum material working temperature is 80°C. Permitted conditions also depend on the shape and magnetic circuit.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.17

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. At low Pc values (typical for flat magnets, below about 1) 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 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 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. 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 can be damaged when tightening the screw, which will become a corrosion focus. This product is dedicated for inside building use. For outdoor applications, we recommend choosing rubberized holders or additional protection with varnish.
A screw or bolt with a thread diameter smaller than 16 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 (24 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø24x2 mm and a weight of 3.77 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 0.94 kg, which translates to 9.22 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 16 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 rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their exceptional strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even during around ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (theoretically),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the smooth surface of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • Magnets possess maximum 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 form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to flexibility in designing and the ability to modify to complex applications,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small elements of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?

The force parameter is a measurement result executed under the following configuration:
  • using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by even structure
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Bear in mind that the working load will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick sheet causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was assessed by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Combustion hazard

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Heat warning

Do not exceed the maximum operating temperature stated in the specifications of the particular product. The limit depends on the material, geometry and operating arrangement; there is no single threshold for all neodymium magnets. Overheating can permanently weaken a magnet.

Crushing risk

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Data carriers

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Caution required

Handle magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Protective goggles

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Allergy Warning

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness occurs, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Choking Hazard

Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Keep away from kids and pets.

Impact on smartphones

An intense magnetic field interferes with the functioning of magnetometers in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to prevent breaking the sensors.
