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 with every subsequent millimeter of spacing. Remember that even a very thin break (e.g., contamination, paint, veneer) strongly reduces the pull force. Magnetic products operate most effectively in perfect adhesion; air break weakens the force. See how quickly the parameters fall, when the product does not adhere directly to the metal substrate. When planning the arrangement, discard additional spacers.

This section presents the theoretical shear load sufficient to start the shifting of the magnet down along a vertical steel wall (considering typical friction). The holding force depends on the distance between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - vertical pull
MW 16x3 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.89 kg / 1.96 lbs 891.0 g / 8.7 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.59 kg / 1.31 lbs 594.0 g / 5.8 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.30 kg / 0.65 lbs 297.0 g / 2.9 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	1.49 kg / 3.27 lbs 1485.0 g / 14.6 N

When mounting a element on a vertical surface (e.g., a board), it will only hold barely approx. 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip mean that magnets slide down easier than they detach. Want to create a vertical fastening? Remember that the shear force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a painted metal, the element will slide down under a significantly smaller weight. Using a rubber pad can drastically increase the grip.

A thin metal plate is not enough to focus the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the holder. Should you install a neodymium to a too thin substrate, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To utilize 100% of this magnet's potential, you need a suitably thick piece of metal. The material oversaturation causes that on thin elements (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet works worse. We recommend selecting the steel cross-section from these parameters.

Classic neodymiums lose strength past the thermal threshold. Watch out for overheating – excessive heat can irreversibly destroy this product. As the temperature rises, the neodymium's power temporarily lowers. Avoid using this product near heat sources higher than its working range. Ignoring the limit will cause permanent loss of magnetism.

*Engineering note: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Thin magnets (pancake types) are more susceptible to demagnetization under lower heat stress than taller cylinders. Red status in the table indicates a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnets attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and sheet setup. The setup of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a wider radius of action. Designing a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Remember that when bringing together two magnets, the impact force is massive. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the attraction, but still large.
*The magnetic induction between like poles drops to ~0 Gs at the geometric center of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Important: Figures apply to shear force of dual identical magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

A strong magnetic field poses a serious hazard to electronics and medical implants. These neodymiums generate a flux that disrupts operation of sensitive medical devices. Notice: the unseen radiation acts through matter and housings. Exceptional care must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, car keys, membranes, and screens. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or painful pinches to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during installation so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A collision at high speed means shattering of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when playing with powerful specimens.

Rust risk: Standard nickel requires drying after every contact with moisture; lack of maintenance will lead to rust spots.

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

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 P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.27

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 P_c (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 P_c 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.

MW 15x4 / N38 - cylindrical magnet

2.21 zł brutto / pcs

The offered product is an exceptionally strong rod magnet, produced from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø16x3 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 16x3 / N38 model features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 2.97 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.

It finds application in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 29.11 N with a weight of only 4.52 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices 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 precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins 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 16 mm and height 3 mm. The value of 29.11 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 4.52 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, 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 16 mm. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:

Their strength is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (theoretically),
They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
Thanks to the shiny finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an aesthetic appearance,
Magnets have maximum magnetic induction on the active area,
Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
Thanks to versatility in constructing and the ability to adapt to specific needs,
Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.

To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?

Magnet power was determined for ideal contact conditions, including:

using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to avoid saturation
characterized by lack of roughness
with direct contact (without paint)
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
at ambient temperature room level

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:

Distance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Force direction – remember that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
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 attracts identically. High carbon content worsen the attraction effect.
Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
Thermal factor – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Warnings

Flammability

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Serious injuries

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Thermal limits

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will ruin its properties and strength.

Nickel coating and allergies

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Threat to navigation

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Danger to the youngest

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Magnets are brittle

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Powerful field

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Health Danger

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.
