1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, the safety limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.22

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 incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x1.5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 10x1.5 / N38 component features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 0.82 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 8.01 N with a weight of only 0.88 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, we absolutely advise against force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø10x1.5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 1.5 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 0.82 kg (force ~8.01 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.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 1.5 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field is maintained, and after approximately 10 years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against loss of magnetization caused by external fields,
  • A magnet with a metallic nickel surface has an effective appearance,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • In view of the possibility of accurate molding and customization to custom solutions, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Significant place in future technologies – they find application in hard drives, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, also multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer impressive pulling force in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets: application proposals
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity is the result of a measurement for ideal contact conditions, including:
  • using a sheet made of mild steel, serving as a ideal flux conductor
  • whose transverse dimension is min. 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In real-world applications, the real power results from many variables, ranked from the most important:
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel gives the best results. Alloy steels decrease magnetic permeability and holding force.
  • Smoothness – full contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings
ICD Warning

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets leads to them cracking into small pieces.

Phone sensors

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Sensitization to coating

Some people experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to skin redness. We recommend wear safety gloves.

Permanent damage

Do not overheat. Neodymium magnets are sensitive to temperature. If you require resistance above 80°C, ask us about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can permanently damage these devices and erase data from cards.

Keep away from children

These products are not suitable for play. Eating a few magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Mechanical processing

Powder created during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Crushing risk

Large magnets can break fingers instantly. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Safe operation

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their force.

Warning! More info about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
