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.

Pulling power decreases significantly with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, paint, rust) significantly weakens the grip. Neodymiums work strongest at the point of direct contact; gap kills the force. Observe how flashily the load capacity plummet, when the product does not touch tightly to the steel surface. When designing the mounting, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

The following data calculates the theoretical weight limit required to start the sliding of the magnet down against a upright steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). The holding force is relative to the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

When hanging a magnet on a upright plane (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on only about 1/5 of nominal attraction strength. Gravity as well as a low friction coefficient cause that holders slide down faster than they pop off the substrate. Planning a vertical fastening? Consider that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the element will slip down under a significantly smaller cargo. Utilizing a rubberized coating can significantly increase the grip.

A too thin steel is not enough to conduct the entire magnetic field, which weakens actual performance of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a too thin substrate, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To utilize the maximum of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid piece of metal. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet shows lower pull force. We suggest choosing the steel cross-section from these parameters.

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 interact from a much further distance than a magnet and steel setup. The setup of two magnets generates a stronger field and a larger range of action. Designing a powerful holder? Apply two magnets 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 significant.
*Flux density for N-N configuration reaches ~0 Gs at the geometric center of the gap (due to field cancellation).
* Results demonstrate friction force of a pair of identical neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Neodymium magnets are very brittle – a violent impact against metal causes immediate chipping. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Kinetic force can cause material chips or painful pinches to skin. Always hold the magnet during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when working with powerful specimens.

1. Shear force

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely limits 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) = 0.20

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 extremely powerful cylinder magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø15x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.51 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 14.84 N with a weight of only 1272 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices 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., 15.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel 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 15 mm and height 2 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.51 kg (force ~14.84 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 rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 2 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their consistent power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They maintain their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of exact modeling as well as optimizing to concrete applications,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in small dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a theoretical maximum value executed under standard conditions:
  • with the contact of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • with an ground contact surface
  • with total lack of distance (no impurities)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Please note that the magnet holding will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Plate material – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface condition – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces weaken the grip.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Operating temperature

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.

Do not drill into magnets

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is explosive. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.

Warning for heart patients

Patients with a heart stimulator have to keep an safe separation from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Protective goggles

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Swallowing risk

Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Physical harm

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Handling guide

Use magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Nickel coating and allergies

Studies show that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent touching magnets with bare hands and choose encased magnets.

Precision electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.
