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 decreases significantly with every mm of spacing. Note that even the smallest gap (e.g., contamination, paint, dust) significantly diminishes the holding power. Magnets work strongest in perfect adhesion; gap drastically cuts the power. See how quickly the pull force plummet, when the magnet does not touch directly to the metal substrate. When calculating the arrangement, eliminate additional spacers.

When mounting a holder on a vertical wall (e.g., a fridge), it will maintain barely about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip cause that products move down faster than they pull off. Want to create a hanger? Note that the sliding force is significantly lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will slip down under a noticeably lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized coating can drastically increase the grip.

A thin metal plate cannot absorb the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. If you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To utilize full efficiency of this magnet's potential, you require a sufficiently solid piece of steel. The saturation phenomenon causes that on thin elements (e.g., appliance housings), the holder holds weaker. We advise picking the steel cross-section from these parameters.

Ordinary NdFeB products lose parameters after exceeding the maximum temperature. Protect against heat – high temperature can permanently demagnetize this magnet. As the temperature rises, the magnet's power briefly lowers. Do not use this magnet near heat sources higher than its working range. Too high temperature will result in destruction of magnetic properties.
*Engineering note: Thermal stability is determined by both grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Flat magnets (pancake types) risk losing magnetic properties under lower heat stress compared to rod magnets. The danger warning in the table points to permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two magnets attract each other from a much further distance than a magnet and steel setup. Such a system of two magnets produces a massive flux and a wider radius of action. Want to build a solid fastener? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the collision energy is massive. The repulsion force is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*Flux density between like poles reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle between the magnets (resulting from vector opposition).
Important: Estimates apply to sliding force of dual matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni plating).

Extremely neodym field is a large risk to electronics as well as pacemakers. These magnets produce a field that destroys function of sensitive medical devices. Be aware: the unseen radiation passes through tissues and housings. Exceptional care must be exercised by people with cochlear implants and insulin pumps. The risk also applies to: mechanical watches, remotes, membranes, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, HDD media, or precise measuring instruments.

Magnetic elements are very brittle – a collision with steel risks their cracking. Pay attention to connection velocity – a magnet released freely speeds with massive force. Striking energy can cause material chips or injury to fingers. Always hold the magnet during bringing near metal so it doesn't slam with momentum against the steel surface. A collision at high speed means shattering of the neodymium. Use safety goggles when working with large magnets.

Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.
Water displaces steel, making heavy objects slightly lighter. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains only approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

*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) = 0.45

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.

This product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø29x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 20.82 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 204.22 N with a weight of only 49.54 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., 29.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, 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 professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø29x10), 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 29 mm and height 10 mm. The value of 204.22 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 49.54 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, 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 29 mm. 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which improves attraction properties,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise modeling and adjusting to specific needs,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they are utilized in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, and modern systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Disadvantages

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • 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 improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Lifting parameters

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

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, assuming:
  • using a plate made of mild steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower subject to elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the plate), because even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • 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.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet results in weakening of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Powerful field

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Shattering risk

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Heat warning

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require operation above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Choking Hazard

Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is high, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are fatal.

Metal Allergy

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Electronic hazard

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Crushing risk

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Be careful!

Fire risk

Dust generated during machining of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.
