Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum working temperature of a disc magnet?
Standard N-series grades work up to 80 °C. Grades N50, N52 and N54 have a lower limit of 60 °C, because coercivity falls as BHmax rises. Higher temperatures require the H (120 °C), SH (150 °C), UH (180 °C), EH (200 °C) or AH (230 °C) series. Within the working range the magnet loses about 0.11% of its induction per degree, and that loss is reversible.
What is the difference between N38, N42 and N52?
The number after N is the energy product BHmax. Moving from N38 to N52 raises it by several tens of percent, but the real holding force increases by roughly 20%, because force also depends on geometry and on the magnetic circuit. N52 costs about twice as much as N42, so for most mounting work N38–N42 is the best price-to-force ratio.
What is the dimensional tolerance?
±0.1 mm as standard, ±0.05 mm to order. The tolerance is stated next to the dimensions on every product page.

Pulling power decreases sharply with every subsequent millimeter of distance. Remember that every additional insulation layer (e.g., dirt, varnish, rust) noticeably reduces the pull force. Magnetic products hold optimally during direct contact; air break nullifies the power. Notice how rapidly the pull force fall, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the steel surface. When calculating the arrangement, discard redundant distances.

When mounting a element on a vertical surface (e.g., a car body), it you can count on barely about 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force and a low friction coefficient cause that products slide down faster than they detach. Planning a vertical fastening? Remember that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the element will give way down under a noticeably lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized coating can effectively raise the stability.

A too thin steel is not enough to absorb the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the magnet. If you mount a strong magnet to a too thin substrate, the field will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To achieve full efficiency of this neodymium's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The saturation phenomenon causes that on delicate walls (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet works worse. We suggest choosing the steel dimension according to the table below.

Classic neodymiums lose parameters after exceeding the maximum temperature. Protect against heat – heat can permanently damage this magnet. With every degree above norm, the magnet's capacity momentarily decreases. Refrain from using this magnet close to heaters higher than its safe range. Too high temperature will lead to permanent loss of magnetism.
*Important note: Heat tolerance is determined by both grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Flat magnets (low permeance coefficient) are more susceptible to demagnetization sooner than taller cylinders. The danger warning in the table signals permanent field degradation for this specific geometry.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and sheet combination. The setup of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a larger range of performance. Want to build a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of a neodymium and a striker plate. Exercise caution that when connecting a pair of magnets, the collision energy is massive. The repulsion force is a bit weaker than the attraction, but still impressive.
*Field value between like poles reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Attention: Results refer to shear force of dual same magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

A strong magnetic field is a serious hazard to electronic devices as well as medical implants. These neodymiums produce a field that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field passes through tissues and housings. Exceptional care must be taken by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. Also at risk are: automatic timepieces, remotes, speakers, and displays. Avoid contact with magnetic cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

NdFeB products are delicate – a strong collision with metal risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Striking energy can cause material chips or painful pinches to fingers. Always hold the magnet during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit with great force against the steel surface. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Wear eye protection when handling with powerful specimens.

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. As a result, your magnet will pull a heavier object from the bottom than if you lifted it in the air.

1. Vertical hold

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 grade, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.55

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 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, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø22x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 22x10 / 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 impressive force (approx. 14.75 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal 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 144.65 N with a weight of only 28.51 g, this rod 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., 22.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø22x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 22 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 14.75 kg (force ~144.65 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 10 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They do not lose power, even during around ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • By using a reflective layer of silver, the element has an nice look,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet remains very high,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of detailed modeling and adapting to defined applications,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are used in magnetic memories, drive modules, diagnostic systems, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in miniature devices

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation and corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices are able to be problematic in diagnostics 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

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnet – what contributes to it?

The force parameter is a measurement result executed under the following configuration:
  • on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane

It is worth knowing that the application force may be lower depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), because even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the interaction with the magnet.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces ensure maximum contact, which improves field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Allergy Warning

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Bone fractures

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Dust explosion hazard

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Precision electronics

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Maintain a safe distance from your mobile, tablet, and GPS.

Protective goggles

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

No play value

These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets act from a long distance and connect with huge force, often faster than you can react.

Power loss in heat

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Keep away from computers

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Medical interference

Medical warning: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
