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.

1. Sliding resistance

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits 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) = 0.35

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 a very strong rod magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø8x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 8x2 / N38 component boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.00 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 0.00 N with a weight of only 0 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 8.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability 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 8 mm and height 2 mm. The value of 0.00 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0 g. 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 8 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Pros

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets perfectly resist against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • By using a decorative layer of gold, the element gains an nice look,
  • Neodymium magnets achieve maximum magnetic induction on a small surface, which allows for strong attraction,
  • 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 custom forming as well as optimizing to precise needs,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are used in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Drawbacks and weaknesses of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Furthermore, tiny parts of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Detachment force of the magnet in optimal conditions – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity concerns the maximum value, recorded under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, acting as a ideal flux conductor
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • with total lack of distance (no paint)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Please note that the application force may be lower subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel attracts identically. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

H&S for magnets
Do not drill into magnets

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

GPS and phone interference

Navigation devices and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can decalibrate the sensors in your phone.

Powerful field

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Medical interference

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Crushing force

Big blocks can break fingers instantly. Never put your hand between two strong magnets.

Choking Hazard

Absolutely store magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Electronic devices

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Material brittleness

NdFeB magnets are sintered ceramics, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

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.

Allergy Warning

Studies show that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and opt for versions in plastic housing.
