Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum working temperature of a disc magnet?
Standard N-series grades work up to 80 °C. Grades N50, N52 and N54 have a lower limit of 60 °C, because coercivity falls as BHmax rises. Higher temperatures require the H (120 °C), SH (150 °C), UH (180 °C), EH (200 °C) or AH (230 °C) series. Within the working range the magnet loses about 0.11% of its induction per degree, and that loss is reversible.
What is the difference between N38, N42 and N52?
The number after N is the energy product BHmax. Moving from N38 to N52 raises it by several tens of percent, but the real holding force increases by roughly 20%, because force also depends on geometry and on the magnetic circuit. N52 costs about twice as much as N42, so for most mounting work N38–N42 is the best price-to-force ratio.
What is the dimensional tolerance?
±0.1 mm as standard, ±0.05 mm to order. The tolerance is stated next to the dimensions on every product page.

Magnetic force weakens drastically with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Note that every additional insulation layer (e.g., dirt, varnish, dust) strongly weakens the grip. Magnets operate optimally at the point of direct contact; distance drastically cuts the power. Observe how rapidly the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the metal substrate. When calculating the assembly, discard additional spacers.

This section presents the theoretical force sufficient to start the shifting of the magnet downwards against a upright steel wall (considering standard friction coefficient). This parameter varies with the gap size between the magnet and the metal.

When mounting a holder on a upright surface (e.g., a car body), it will maintain just approx. 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravity and a weak degree of grip mean that holders move down easier than they detach. Planning a hanger? Remember that the shear force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the element will slip down under a significantly smaller cargo. Using a rubber layer can significantly improve the result.

A thin metal plate is not enough to focus the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the magnet. Should you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the flux will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To achieve the maximum of this magnet's power, you need a suitably thick piece of steel. The saturation effect means that on thin elements (e.g., thin profiles), the product holds weaker. We advise picking the steel thickness based on the following data.

Classic neodymiums lose strength past the thermal threshold. Avoid high temperatures – heat can irreversibly destroy this magnet. With increasing heat, the magnet's force momentarily decreases. Refrain from using this magnet close to heaters exceeding its working range. Too high temperature will result in irreversible degradation of magnetism.
*Important note: Thermal stability depends not only on the material grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Flat magnets (pancake types) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. Warning indicator in the table points to permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums interact from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel setup. Such a system of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a wider radius of performance. Planning to create a powerful holder? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the impact force is massive. The levitation is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still large.
*Flux density between like poles drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Estimates demonstrate sliding force of dual matching magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Magnetic elements are delicate – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Striking energy can trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to fingers. Hold the magnet firmly during mounting so it doesn't hit violently against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Use safety goggles when handling with powerful specimens.

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.22

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.

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x1.5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.82 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 8.01 N with a weight of only 0.88 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 10.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø10x1.5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 1.5 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.82 kg (force ~8.01 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 1.5 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Thanks to this, the magnet can be easily glued into a hole and achieve a strong field on the front surface. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss when exposed to opposing magnetic fields,
  • By applying a decorative layer of nickel, the element presents an proper look,
  • Magnets have exceptionally strong 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 shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in forming and the capacity to modify to complex applications,
  • Significant place in high-tech industry – they find application in computer drives, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their force 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
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price is higher than average,

Pull force analysis

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength refers to the limit force, recorded under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity is determined by several key aspects, listed from crucial:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Load vector – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Nickel allergy

Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to skin redness. We suggest use protective gloves.

Fire risk

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

Threat to navigation

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Shattering risk

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Threat to electronics

Very strong magnetic fields can corrupt files on payment cards, HDDs, and storage devices. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm.

Crushing force

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Immense force

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Implant safety

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

This is not a toy

Strictly store magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Power loss in heat

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, ask us about HT versions (H, SH, UH).
