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.

Grip strength drops drastically with every mm of gap. Note that even a very thin break (e.g., dirt, varnish, rust) noticeably diminishes the holding power. Magnetic products operate optimally at the point of direct contact; distance drastically cuts the power. Notice how quickly the load capacity fall, when the magnet does not touch flatly to the metal substrate. When designing the arrangement, discard redundant distances.

The table below defines the estimated shear load required to start the sliding of the magnet vertically along a vertical steel wall (assuming typical friction coefficient). This parameter is a function of the gap size between the magnet and the surface.

When hanging a holder on a vertical wall (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on just about 20%-30% of its maximum pull force. Gravitational force and a weak degree of grip mean that products slip faster than they pop off the substrate. Designing a wall mount? Consider that the shear force is much weaker than the maximum static pull force. On a slippery surface, the holder will slide down under a noticeably lighter cargo. Utilizing a rubberized layer can effectively raise the stability.

A thin sheet cannot conduct the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the holder. If you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the field will penetrate right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To achieve 100% of this magnet's power, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The saturation effect causes that on delicate walls (e.g., car bodies), the holder shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel dimension according to the table below.

Ordinary NdFeB products lose strength above the temperature limit. Protect against heat – excessive heat can irreversibly destroy this magnet. With every degree above norm, the magnet's capacity momentarily lowers. Refrain from using this magnet close to ovens exceeding its working range. Exceeding the critical threshold will lead to destruction of magnetic properties.
*Important note: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, but also on the magnet's shape. Flat magnets (low permeance coefficient) risk losing magnetic properties at lower temperatures than taller cylinders. Warning indicator in the table signals a risk of irreversible loss for this specific geometry.

Two strong neodymiums interact from a significantly greater distance than a neodymium and metal setup. The setup of two magnets produces a massive flux and a wider radius of operation. Want to build a solid fastener? Apply two magnets instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when bringing together two magnets, the pinch force is huge. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the connection force, but still impressive.
*Flux density between like poles is approximately ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Note: Results demonstrate sliding force of two same neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Powerful magnet radiation is a real danger to IT equipment and pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a flux that destroys function of digital equipment. Notice: the unseen radiation acts through matter and glass. Exceptional care must be exercised by people with hearing aids and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, remotes, speakers, and displays. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or sensitive navigation tools.

Magnetic elements are prone to chipping – a violent impact against metal can result in shattering. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Striking energy can trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to skin. Be sure to control the product during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h almost guarantees destruction of the magnet. Wear safety glasses when playing with large magnets.

1. Sliding resistance

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.34

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 cylinder magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø25x6 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 25x6 / N38 model features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 10.27 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 100.71 N with a weight of only 22.09 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics 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, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø25x6), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 25 mm and height 6 mm. The value of 100.71 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 22.09 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 6 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.

Pros as well as cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by remarkably resistant to demagnetization caused by external field sources,
  • In other words, due to the glossy layer of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed forming and modifying to individual applications,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are commonly used in magnetic memories, electric motors, medical equipment, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Disadvantages

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore when using outdoors, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With budget limitations the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The load parameter shown concerns the limit force, recorded under ideal test conditions, meaning:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • with total lack of distance (without impurities)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the working load will differ depending on the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 5 times. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Adults only

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, leading to intestinal necrosis. Keep out of reach of kids and pets.

Impact on smartphones

A strong magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Caution required

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can surprise even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Medical implants

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Do not drill into magnets

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Do not overheat magnets

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Shattering risk

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

Data carriers

Very strong magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Avoid contact if allergic

Allergy Notice: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction appears, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Crushing force

Large magnets can crush fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.
