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 drops sharply per each millimeter of gap. Note that even a microscopic distance (e.g., contamination, varnish, rust) significantly reduces the pull force. Magnets work optimally during direct contact; air break kills the power. Observe how flashily the load capacity fall, when the product does not adhere tightly to the steel surface. When designing the arrangement, avoid additional spacers.

The following data defines the approximate weight limit needed to initiate the downward movement of the magnet downwards along a upright steel plate (assuming standard friction coefficient). This parameter depends on the distance between the magnet and the metal.

When mounting a element on a upright plane (e.g., a fridge), it you can count on barely approx. 1/5 of its maximum pull force. Gravity and a low friction coefficient cause that holders move down easier than they pop off the substrate. Designing a wall mount? Remember that the shear force is significantly lower than the maximum static pull force. On a smooth steel, the magnet will slide down under a much lighter weight. Utilizing a rubberized pad can effectively increase the grip.

A thin metal plate is unable to absorb the entire magnetic field, which wastes potential of the holder. Should you mount a strong magnet to a thin surface, the magnetism will pass right through and the holding will be smaller. To squeeze full efficiency of this magnet's potential, you need a suitably thick element of metal. The saturation phenomenon means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., thin profiles), the magnet shows lower pull force. We advise picking the steel thickness based on the following data.

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 magnets attract each other from a much further distance than a neodymium and metal combination. The setup of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a further horizon of operation. Want to build a strong closure? Apply two magnets instead of a neodymium and a steel. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the impact force is extreme. The levitation is a bit weaker than the attraction, but still impressive.
*The magnetic induction in repulsion mode drops to ~0 Gs at the midpoint between the magnets (due to field cancellation).
Attention: Figures apply to shear force of two matching magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni coating).

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a collision with steel risks their cracking. Control the attraction moment – a magnet released freely becomes dangerous. Impact energy can cause material chips or painful pinches to fingers. Always hold the magnet during installation so it doesn't hit with great force against the metal. A contact at a velocity of dozens of km/h means shattering of the magnet. Use safety goggles when working with large magnets.

In water, the magnet feels stronger thanks to Archimedes' principle. However, remember the water resistance when pulling the rope quickly.

1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Heat tolerance

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) = 0.16

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. 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 cylindrical magnet, produced from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø9.5x1 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 9.5x1 / N38 component boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.40 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, 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.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 3.96 N with a weight of only 0.53 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives 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 9.5 mm and height 1 mm. The value of 3.96 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.53 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 1 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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 neodymium magnets.

Benefits

Besides their immense strength, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have stable power, and over more than 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface has an effective appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and can work (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of precise modeling as well as adapting to concrete requirements,
  • Versatile presence in future technologies – they are used in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Do not exceed this material temperature limit: 80°C. Overheating may permanently weaken the magnet.
  • 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 a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating nuts inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

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

Breakaway force was determined for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • with the application of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of ideal adhesion (surface-to-surface)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Please note that the working load will differ subject to the following factors, in order of importance:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Plate thickness – insufficiently thick steel does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be escaped into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy admixtures reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Immense force

Before starting, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

Machining danger

Powder produced during machining of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Do not give to children

Adult use only. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Allergy Warning

Some people have a sensitization to Ni, which is the common plating for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. It is best to use protective gloves.

Impact on smartphones

Note: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Keep a separation from your phone, device, and navigation systems.

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.

Threat to electronics

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Medical implants

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Fragile material

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Physical harm

Protect your hands. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!
