Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy strong cylindrical neodymium magnets?
See the available cylinders in the DHIT catalogue. Compare dimensions, grade and the pull-force value on each product card; grade alone does not determine the pull force of a finished magnet.
Can a small cylindrical magnet provide a strong grip for precise workshop work?
Yes, but size alone is not enough to predict the result. Geometry, the steel surface and the direction of load affect the grip. Compare the specifications of the selected dimensions on their product cards.
Which cylindrical magnet can work at a higher temperature?
Check the operating-temperature limit of the particular model rather than assuming one limit for all N grades. The offered N52 models are rated up to 60°C. For hotter applications, ask for a product with a confirmed specification for the actual working temperature.

Magnetic force weakens significantly per each millimeter of spacing. Note that every additional insulation layer (e.g., dirt, paint, rust) noticeably diminishes the holding power. Magnetic products hold strongest in perfect adhesion; air break nullifies the force. Notice how flashily the parameters drop, when the magnet does not adhere flatly to the steel surface. When calculating the arrangement, discard unnecessary gaps.

The table below calculates the theoretical weight limit required to initiate the downward movement of the magnet downwards on a vertical steel plate (assuming typical friction coefficient). This parameter depends on the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

When hanging a holder on a vertical surface (e.g., a car body), it will maintain just approx. 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient cause that products slide down easier than they pop off the substrate. Designing a wall mount? Consider that the shear force is significantly lower than the maximum static pull force. On a slippery surface, the element will slip down under a noticeably lighter cargo. Application of an anti-slip pad can effectively improve the result.

A thin sheet is not enough to take in the entire magnetic field, which weakens actual performance of the holder. Should you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve 100% of this magnet's power, you need a suitably thick piece of steel. The material oversaturation causes that on delicate walls (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet holds weaker. We suggest choosing the steel cross-section 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 magnets attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and sheet setup. The connection of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a further horizon of operation. Want to build a powerful holder? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Be careful that when bringing together two magnets, the impact force is extreme. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the attraction, but still large.
*Flux density between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Attention: Estimates refer to shear force of dual same neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Neodymium magnets are very brittle – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Impact energy can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during mounting 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 neodymium. Use safety goggles when working with large magnets.

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

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) = 0.16

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 presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x1 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.41 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 4.02 N with a weight of only 0.59 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Choose the material grade together with the dimensions and working conditions. A grade designation alone does not determine the pull force of the finished magnet. Check the properties and working temperature of this specific model on its product card; contact us before ordering for an unusual application.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x1 mm, which, at a weight of 0.59 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.41 kg (force ~4.02 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 1 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is most desirable when connecting magnets in stacks (e.g., in filters) or when mounting in sockets at the bottom of a hole. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for almost ten years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Magnets effectively protect themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • Thanks to the elegant finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnets have maximum magnetic induction on the outer side,
  • 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...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to adapt to client solutions,
  • Wide application in modern technologies – they find application in mass storage devices, electric drive systems, medical devices, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously improves its 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 advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material immune to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend a housing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering 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

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown represents the limit force, obtained under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

During everyday use, the real power depends on a number of factors, ranked from most significant:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – temperature increase results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Demagnetization risk

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.

Protect data

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Do not put your hand between two attracting surfaces.

Immense force

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Skin irritation risks

Certain individuals have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause skin redness. It is best to wear protective gloves.

Danger to pacemakers

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Combustion hazard

Fire warning: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Eye protection

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Do not give to children

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

GPS and phone interference

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.
