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 weakens drastically per each millimeter of distance. Remember that even the smallest gap (e.g., contamination, paint, rust) noticeably reduces the pull force. Magnets hold optimally in perfect adhesion; distance nullifies the power. Observe how rapidly the parameters drop, when the magnet does not touch flatly to the metal substrate. When planning the mounting, discard unnecessary gaps.

The table below calculates the theoretical weight limit sufficient to initiate the slippage of the magnet down on a upright metal surface (considering standard friction coefficient). The holding force is a function of the air gap between the magnet and the surface.

When hanging a holder on a upright plane (e.g., a car body), it will only hold only about 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravity as well as a weak degree of grip mean that magnets move down faster than they pop off the substrate. Planning a wall mount? Consider that the shear force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the holder will give way down under a much lighter load. Using a rubber layer can drastically raise the stability.

A thin sheet is not enough to focus the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the holder. If you install a neodymium to a thin surface, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To squeeze 100% of this magnet's potential, you require a sufficiently solid backing of steel. The saturation phenomenon means that on thin elements (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet works worse. We suggest choosing the steel thickness based on the following data.

Ordinary NdFeB products irreversibly lose power above the temperature limit. Avoid high temperatures – excessive heat can irreversibly demagnetize this magnet. As the temperature rises, the magnet's capacity temporarily lowers. Refrain from using this magnet close to ovens higher than its operating temperature limit. Exceeding the critical threshold will lead to irreversible degradation of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Heat tolerance depends not only on the material grade, as well as the dimension ratios. Flat magnets (pancake types) may lose charge permanently under lower heat stress compared to rod magnets. Warning indicator in the table indicates permanent field degradation for this particular item.

Two strong neodymiums attract each other from a significantly greater distance than a neodymium and metal setup. The connection of two magnets produces a massive flux and a further horizon of operation. Want to build a strong closure? Utilize two neodymiums instead of one magnet and a striker plate. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the impact force is huge. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*Flux density in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (resulting from vector opposition).
* Results refer to friction force of a pair of same magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Powerful magnet radiation is a serious hazard to electronics as well as pacemakers. These neodymiums produce a field that prevents correct functioning of sensitive medical devices. Remember: the invisible magnetic field acts through matter and glass. Exceptional care must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. The risk also applies to: automatic timepieces, remotes, membranes, and displays. Do not bring the product near payment cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

NdFeB products are very brittle – a violent impact against metal risks their cracking. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose turns into a projectile. Kinetic force can cause material chips or painful pinches to fingers. Be sure to control the product during bringing near metal so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Wear safety glasses when working with large magnets.

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

1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.00

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 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 rod magnet, manufactured from modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø8x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 8x10 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.84 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast 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 finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 18.00 N with a weight of only 3.77 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices 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 industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.

Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø8x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.

This model is characterized by dimensions Ø8x10 mm, which, at a weight of 3.77 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.84 kg (force ~18.00 N), which, with such compact 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.

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 8 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets.

Strengths

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:

They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
The use of an refined finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
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 function (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
Thanks to flexibility in forming and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they find application in data components, electric drive systems, medical devices, and industrial machines.
Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

To avoid cracks under impact, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
We suggest casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding force – what it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under the following configuration:

using a plate made of low-carbon steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
with an ideally smooth touching surface
without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Please note that the working load may be lower subject to the following factors, in order of importance:

Clearance – the presence of foreign body (rust, dirt, 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 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. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
Temperature – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Warnings

Bodily injuries

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Immense force

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

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Cards and drives

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

Danger to pacemakers

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Allergy Warning

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Clashing of two magnets leads to them shattering into small pieces.

Adults only

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Keep away from electronics

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Maintain a separation from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Dust is flammable

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.
