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 drops significantly with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Note that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, varnish, dust) significantly weakens the grip. Magnets operate most effectively at the point of direct contact; gap kills the power. Observe how quickly the pull force drop, when the product does not touch flatly to the metal substrate. When calculating the assembly, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

The table below calculates the estimated shear load needed to cause the shifting of the magnet downwards against a vertical steel plate (assuming typical friction). This value varies with the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

When placing a element on a vertical plane (e.g., a car body), it will only hold barely about 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravity and a weak degree of grip mean that holders slip faster than they pull off. Want to create a vertical fastening? Remember that the sliding force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the element will give way down under a noticeably lighter load. Using a rubber coating can drastically improve the result.

A thin sheet is not enough to conduct the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the holder. If you mount a strong magnet to a too thin substrate, the field will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To squeeze the maximum of this magnet's power, you need a suitably thick element of metal. The material oversaturation causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the product works worse. We advise picking the steel thickness according to the table below.

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 magnetic products interact from a wider radius than a neodymium and metal combination. The connection of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a wider radius of action. Designing a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Exercise caution that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is massive. The levitation is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still significant.
*The magnetic induction for N-N configuration drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Attention: Estimates demonstrate shear force of a pair of identical magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Magnetic elements are prone to chipping – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Impact energy can trigger coating fragments or injury to fingers. Hold the magnet firmly during bringing near metal so it doesn't slam with momentum against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h ends with a crack of the magnet. Wear eye protection when handling with powerful specimens.

Rust risk: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!
Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Shear force

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

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) = 0.96

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.

The ring magnet with a hole MP 30x6x10 / 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 30x6x10 / 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. 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. Damage to the protective layer during assembly is the most common cause of rusting. 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 mm fits this model. If the magnet does not have a chamfer (cone), we recommend using a screw with a flat or cylindrical head, or possibly using a washer. Always check that the screw head is not larger than the outer diameter of the magnet (30 mm), so it doesn't protrude beyond the outline.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø30x10 mm and a weight of 50.89 g. The pulling force of this model is an impressive 20.71 kg, which translates to 203.16 N in newtons. The mounting hole diameter is precisely 6 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. When ordering a larger quantity, magnets are usually packed in stacks, where they are already naturally paired.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose strength, even over nearly 10 years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • Neodymium magnets remain extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external field sources,
  • A magnet with a smooth silver surface looks better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, medical equipment, and other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
  • 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, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the maximum value, measured under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • with the contact of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an polished touching surface
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Bear in mind that the working load will differ subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which improves force. Uneven metal weaken the grip.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a polished steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, whereas under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Medical implants

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Phone sensors

GPS units and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Fire warning

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

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.

Cards and drives

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

Safe operation

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Magnet fragility

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Metal Allergy

Warning for allergy sufferers: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If redness happens, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Adults only

Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Physical harm

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.
