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.

Grip strength drops significantly per each millimeter of spacing. Keep in mind that even a very thin break (e.g., dirt, paint, veneer) noticeably weakens the grip. Magnets hold strongest in perfect adhesion; air break kills the power. See how rapidly the load capacity plummet, when the magnet does not adhere tightly to the steel surface. When planning the assembly, avoid unnecessary gaps.

This section defines the estimated holding capacity necessary to start the shifting of the magnet vertically against a vertical steel wall (assuming typical friction). The holding force is a function of the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

When hanging a magnet on a vertical surface (e.g., a car body), it you can count on barely approx. 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a low friction coefficient influence the fact that holders move down easier than they detach. Planning a hanger? Note that the sliding force is significantly lower than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the magnet will slip down under a significantly smaller cargo. Using a rubber pad can drastically increase the grip.

A too thin steel is unable to conduct the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the holder. Should you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the flux will pass right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To achieve full efficiency of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The material oversaturation causes that on delicate walls (e.g., appliance housings), the holder holds weaker. We suggest choosing the steel thickness 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 magnets attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel combination. Such a system of magnet-to-magnet generates a stronger field and a further horizon of action. Want to build a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a steel. Exercise caution that when bringing together two magnets, the impact force is extreme. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the attraction, but still large.
*Flux density between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
* Results refer to sliding force of dual matching neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Neodymium magnets are very brittle – a collision with steel can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely turns into a projectile. Impact energy can cause material chips or injury to skin. Always hold the magnet during installation so it doesn't slam with momentum against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the neodymium. Wear eye protection when playing with large magnets.

Rust risk: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically 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) = 0.29

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 exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 10x2 zestaw 100 szt. / N38 component features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.27 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 12.50 N with a weight of only 118 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, 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, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating 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 Ø10x2 mm, which, at a weight of 118 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 12.50 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 118 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 2 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. Such an arrangement is standard 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their power remains stable, and after around ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • The use of an refined layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • 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 designing and the ability to customize to individual projects,
  • Universal use in high-tech industry – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in compact constructions

Cons

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, 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
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components 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 hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnet – what affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Real force impacted by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Air gap (between the magnet and the plate), since even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

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.

Fire warning

Machining of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Implant safety

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Allergic reactions

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to a rash. We strongly advise wear safety gloves.

Hand protection

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Conscious usage

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Adults only

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.

Material brittleness

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Cards and drives

Intense magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

GPS Danger

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.
