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.

Pulling power decreases drastically per each millimeter of spacing. Keep in mind that even a very thin break (e.g., contamination, paint, rust) noticeably reduces the pull force. Neodymiums hold optimally during direct contact; distance weakens the power. Observe how quickly the parameters drop, when the product does not adhere flatly to the metal substrate. When designing the arrangement, eliminate additional spacers.

This section calculates the approximate weight limit sufficient to start the slippage of the magnet vertically along a upright metal surface (assuming standard friction coefficient). The holding force varies with the distance between the magnet and the metal.

When placing a holder on a upright plane (e.g., a board), it will maintain just approx. 1/5 of its nominal power. Gravity as well as a weak degree of grip influence the fact that products slip easier than they pull off. Planning a hanger? Remember that the shear force is much weaker than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the magnet will give way down under a noticeably lighter load. Application of an anti-slip pad can drastically increase the grip.

A too thin steel cannot focus the full magnetic flux, which wastes potential of the holder. Should you install a neodymium to a weak sheet, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the pull force will drop sharply. To utilize 100% of this neodymium's potential, you need a suitably thick backing of metal. The saturation effect means that on sheet metal structures (e.g., car bodies), the product shows lower pull force. We recommend selecting the steel cross-section according to the table below.

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 strong neodymiums attract each other from a wider radius than a neodymium and metal setup. The setup of two magnets generates a stronger field and a larger range of performance. Designing a solid fastener? Use a pair of magnets instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when attracting two neodymiums, the impact force is extreme. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still large.
*Field value in repulsion mode reaches ~0 Gs at the geometric center of the gap (caused by magnetic field nullification).
Attention: Figures apply to shear force of a pair of matching magnets (friction coefficient ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

Magnetic elements are very brittle – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Watch the impact speed – a neodymium left loose becomes dangerous. Striking energy can destroy the magnet or dangerous crushing to skin. Hold the magnet firmly during installation so it doesn't hit violently against the metal. A collision at high speed almost guarantees destruction of the neodymium. Use safety goggles when working with powerful specimens.

Corrosion 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. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

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.

This product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø9.5x1 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.40 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its 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 3.96 N with a weight of only 2120 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 9.5.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel 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 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 2120 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder 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 standard 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 and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose strength, even after nearly ten years – the decrease in lifting capacity is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the shiny surface of nickel, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnets exhibit huge magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of custom machining as well as adapting to atypical conditions,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they are used in hard drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, also other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in special holders. 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. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest cover - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small components of these products can be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is a challenge,

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding force – what affects it?

The load parameter shown represents the peak performance, recorded under optimal environment, meaning:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at room temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Effective lifting capacity impacted by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Distance (between the magnet and the metal), because even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – not every steel reacts the same. 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.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings
Keep away from computers

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Respect the power

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Crushing force

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Combustion hazard

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Threat to navigation

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Danger to the youngest

Always keep magnets out of reach of children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the consequences of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Medical interference

Individuals with a pacemaker have to maintain an safe separation from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Permanent damage

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.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Skin irritation risks

Nickel alert: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating consists of nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.
