1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

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

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

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.

Other proposals

This product is an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x1.5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 10x1.5 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant 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 standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 8.01 N with a weight of only 0.88 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest 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 lifting capacity amounting to approximately 0.82 kg (force ~8.01 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade 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 10 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface has better aesthetics,
  • Magnets possess maximum magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • 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 modeling and adjusting to atypical requirements,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electromotive mechanisms, medical devices, as well as industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose their power 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, in case of application outdoors
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is one of the disadvantages compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

The lifting capacity listed is a result of laboratory testing executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a block made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • without the slightest insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • at ambient temperature room level

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In practice, the actual lifting capacity is determined by several key aspects, presented from most significant:
  • Clearance – existence of any layer (paint, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the more even the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Bodily injuries

Big blocks can smash fingers instantly. Under no circumstances put your hand between two strong magnets.

Heat warning

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Danger to the youngest

Adult use only. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to intestinal necrosis. Store away from children and animals.

Electronic devices

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Handling rules

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can destroy the magnet or hurt your hand. Be predictive.

GPS and phone interference

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a strong magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

ICD Warning

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Magnets are brittle

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

Allergic reactions

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop working with magnets and use protective gear.

Flammability

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.
