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.

Engineering analysis of the magnet - data

These information represent the result of a mathematical calculation. Results were calculated on algorithms for the material Nd₂Fe₁₄B. Real-world conditions may differ from theoretical values. Treat these calculations as a reference point for designers.

Table 1: Static pull force (pull vs distance) - characteristics
MW 20x2 / N38

Distance (mm)	Induction (Gauss) / mT	Pull Force (kg/lbs/g/N)	Risk Status
0 mm	1216 Gs 121.6 mT	1.63 kg / 3.59 pounds 1630.0 g / 16.0 N	weak grip

50 mm	9 Gs 0.9 mT	0.00 kg / 0.00 pounds 0.1 g / 0.0 N	weak grip

Magnetic force weakens sharply per each millimeter of gap. Remember that even the smallest gap (e.g., contamination, paint, dust) significantly weakens the grip. Neodymiums operate strongest at the point of direct contact; distance weakens the power. Observe how quickly the pull force drop, when the product does not touch tightly to the steel surface. When planning the mounting, avoid additional spacers.

Table 2: Shear hold (vertical surface)

50 mm	Raw steel (µ ≈ 0.2)	0.00 kg / 0.00 pounds 0.0 g / 0.0 N

The following data shows the estimated force needed to start the downward movement of the magnet vertically on a vertical steel wall (considering typical friction coefficient). This parameter varies with the distance between the magnet and the surface.

Table 3: Wall mounting (sliding) - vertical pull
MW 20x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / %	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% of nominal force	0.49 kg / 1.08 pounds 489.0 g / 4.8 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% of nominal force	0.33 kg / 0.72 pounds 326.0 g / 3.2 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% of nominal force	0.16 kg / 0.36 pounds 163.0 g / 1.6 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% of nominal force	0.82 kg / 1.80 pounds 815.0 g / 8.0 N

When hanging a element on a vertical surface (e.g., a car body), it you can count on just about 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravity as well as a low friction coefficient cause that products slip faster than they pop off the substrate. Want to create a wall mount? Consider that the shear force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the element will slide down under a much lighter load. Using a rubber layer can effectively increase the grip.

Steel thickness (mm)	% power	Real pull force (kg/lbs/g/N)
0.5 mm	10%	0.16 kg / 0.36 pounds 163.0 g / 1.6 N

12 mm	100%	1.63 kg / 3.59 pounds 1630.0 g / 16.0 N

A thin sheet is not enough to absorb the entire magnetic field, which squanders power of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the field will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To utilize the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you need a suitably thick piece of metal. The material oversaturation causes that on thin elements (e.g., appliance housings), the holder shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel dimension according to the table below.

Table 5: Thermal resistance (stability) - thermal limit
MW 20x2 / N38

Magnet temperature (°C)	Force change relative to 20°C	Remaining pull (kg/lbs/g/N)	Status
20 °C	0.0%	1.63 kg / 3.59 pounds 1630.0 g / 16.0 N	Estimate
40 °C	-4.4%	1.56 kg / 3.44 pounds 1559.1 g / 15.3 N	Estimate
60 °C	-8.6%	1.49 kg / 3.28 pounds 1489.7 g / 14.6 N	Estimate
80 °C	-12.8%	1.42 kg / 3.13 pounds 1421.9 g / 13.9 N	Material limit
100 °C	—	—	Out of range — no model

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 much further distance than a magnet and sheet setup. Such a system of two magnets produces a massive flux and a further horizon of operation. Want to build a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is extreme. The levitation is a bit weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Flux density for N-N configuration is approximately ~0 Gs at the geometric center of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Important: Calculations apply to friction force of two identical magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Reference field levels for a model of one magnet, on its axis in air, with a 5 mm distance step. These are not device immunity limits or safe distances for implants. Do not use this table to assess the safety of a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implant; follow the device manufacturer’s and your clinician’s guidance. Steel and other magnets change the field distribution.

Table 8: Impact energy (kinetic energy) - warning
MW 20x2 / N38

Start from (mm)	Speed (km/h)	Energy (J)
10 mm	20.42 km/h (5.67 m/s)	0.08 J
30 mm	21.15 km/h (5.88 m/s)	0.08 J
50 mm	21.16 km/h (5.88 m/s)	0.08 J
100 mm	21.16 km/h (5.88 m/s)	0.08 J

NdFeB products are delicate – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Kinetic force can cause material chips or injury to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the neodymium. Use safety goggles when playing with powerful specimens.

Environment	Effective steel pull	Effect
Air (land)	1.63 kg	Standard
Water (riverbed)	1.87 kg (+0.24 kg buoyancy gain)	+14.5%

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

Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens 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 P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.16

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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.

The presented product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø20x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 20x2 / N38 component is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 1.63 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its 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 15.98 N with a weight of only 4.71 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.

Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 20.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives 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 Ø20x2 mm, which, at a weight of 4.71 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 1.63 kg (force ~15.98 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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 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.

Strengths

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

They retain magnetic properties for nearly ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
Neodymium magnets are characterized by remarkably resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external interference,
The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, allowing for operation at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
Thanks to modularity in constructing and the ability to customize to complex applications,
Universal use in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, electric motors, diagnostic systems, as well as complex engineering applications.
Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
Due to limitations in realizing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using casing - magnetic mechanism.
Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding force – what contributes to it?

Magnet power was determined for optimal configuration, taking into account:

using a sheet made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
characterized by smoothness
under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
at temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

During everyday use, the real power is determined by a number of factors, listed from crucial:

Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or dirt).
Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the interaction with the magnet.
Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was measured on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

H&S for magnets

Keep away from electronics

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

ICD Warning

People with a pacemaker should keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetism can stop the operation of the life-saving device.

Skin irritation risks

A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching can result in dermatitis. We suggest use protective gloves.

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.

Beware of splinters

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Electronic hazard

Device Safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Dust explosion hazard

Powder created during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Handling guide

Handle magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Choking Hazard

These products are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a critical condition and necessitates immediate surgery.

Physical harm

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!
