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 drops drastically with every mm of gap. Note that even a very thin break (e.g., dirt, paint, rust) noticeably weakens the grip. Magnets work optimally at the point of direct contact; air break kills the power. Analyze how quickly the pull force drop, when the magnet does not adhere flatly to the metal substrate. When calculating the assembly, avoid redundant distances.

This section shows the estimated force necessary to cause the shifting of the magnet downwards against a vertical steel wall (assuming typical friction). This parameter is a function of the air gap between the magnet and the metal.

When hanging a magnet on a vertical wall (e.g., a board), it will only hold just approx. 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravity as well as a weak degree of grip mean that products slip easier than they detach. Designing a vertical fastening? Note that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the magnet will give way down under a noticeably lighter cargo. Utilizing a rubberized layer can significantly improve the result.

A thin sheet is unable to conduct the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the holder. Should you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To utilize 100% of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation effect causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the holder holds weaker. We recommend selecting 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 strong neodymiums interact from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and sheet setup. The setup of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a further horizon of action. Designing a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a steel. Be careful that when connecting a pair of magnets, the impact force is extreme. The levitation is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still large.
*Field value in repulsion mode drops to ~0 Gs at the geometric center between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Important: Calculations refer to friction force of two same neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Impact energy can trigger coating fragments or injury to fingers. Be sure to control the product during installation 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 handling with powerful specimens.

Warning: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!
The magnetic field penetrates through water without any losses. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

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 presented product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 10x2 zestaw 2000 szt. / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.27 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created 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 12.50 N with a weight of only 2360 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 2 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.27 kg (force ~12.50 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.
Standardly, the magnetic axis runs through the center of the cylinder, causing the greatest attraction force to occur on the bases with a diameter of 10 mm. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during around 10 years – the decrease in strength is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • By applying a smooth coating of silver, the element acquires an nice look,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is maximum,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for operation at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to modify to specific needs,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are used in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical devices, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend 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.
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Furthermore, small components of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Maximum magnetic pulling force – what contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength concerns the limit force, obtained under laboratory conditions, specifically:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (without impurities)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – too thin plate causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Warnings
Allergy Warning

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Safe operation

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

Magnetic interference

An intense magnetic field disrupts the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Health Danger

For implant holders: Powerful magnets disrupt electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Electronic hazard

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Crushing force

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.

Eye protection

Despite metallic appearance, neodymium is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Choking Hazard

Adult use only. Tiny parts can be swallowed, leading to severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.

Permanent damage

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

Powder created during machining of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.
