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.

Magnetic force decreases drastically per each millimeter of gap. Remember that every additional insulation layer (e.g., contamination, paint, rust) noticeably reduces the pull force. Neodymiums hold optimally during direct contact; distance nullifies the force. Notice how quickly the parameters fall, when the magnet does not touch tightly to the metal substrate. When planning the mounting, eliminate additional spacers.

This section shows the estimated holding capacity necessary to cause the sliding of the magnet vertically against a upright steel plate (considering standard friction). This value is relative to the separation distance between the magnet and the surface.

When placing a magnet on a upright surface (e.g., a board), it will maintain just about 20%-30% of nominal attraction strength. Gravitational force as well as a weak degree of grip mean that products move down faster than they detach. Designing a wall mount? Consider that the shear force is significantly lower than the maximum static pull force. On a slippery surface, the magnet will give way down under a noticeably lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized coating can effectively raise the stability.

A too thin steel is unable to take in the full magnetic flux, which squanders power of the magnet. If you attach a powerful product to a too thin substrate, the field will pass right through and the attraction force will be weaker. To achieve the maximum of this neodymium's potential, you require a sufficiently solid element of steel. The saturation effect means that on thin elements (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet works worse. We recommend selecting the steel dimension from these parameters.

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 magnetic products interact from a significantly greater distance than a magnet and steel combination. The connection of magnet-to-magnet produces a massive flux and a further horizon of action. Planning to create a strong closure? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Be careful that when attracting two neodymiums, the impact force is huge. The repulsion force is slightly lower than the connection force, but still significant.
*Field value for N-N configuration is approximately ~0 Gs at the geometric center of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Attention: Estimates show sliding force of dual matching neodymium magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

NdFeB products are prone to chipping – a strong collision with metal can result in shattering. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Kinetic force can trigger coating fragments or painful pinches to fingers. Always hold the magnet during installation 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 neodymium. Wear safety glasses when handling with large magnets.

Rust risk: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!
Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. Note: for permanent underwater work, we recommend magnets with an anti-corrosive (epoxy) coating.

1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) drastically 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 Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.66

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 offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø5x3 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.84 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical 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 8.25 N with a weight of only 22 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 5.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel 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 5 mm and height 3 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.84 kg (force ~8.25 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. 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 5 mm. 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • Magnets very well resist against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the working part of the magnet is maximum,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to freedom in constructing and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
  • Universal use in innovative solutions – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, medical devices, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

Cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
  • They rust in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using a housing - magnetic mount.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child safety. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With mass production the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The force parameter is a measurement result executed under standard conditions:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at room temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

Please note that the working load will differ influenced by the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material composition – not every steel attracts identically. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase results in weakening of induction. Check the maximum operating temperature for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces 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.

Warnings
Nickel allergy

Certain individuals suffer from a contact allergy to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in skin redness. We recommend use safety gloves.

Fragile material

Protect your eyes. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Wear goggles.

Serious injuries

Mind your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Cards and drives

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can permanently damage these devices and wipe information from cards.

Compass and GPS

Navigation devices and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the internal compass in your phone.

Health Danger

Patients with a heart stimulator should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Do not underestimate power

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Demagnetization risk

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.

Adults only

Only for adults. Small elements can be swallowed, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.
