1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, 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.

Other proposals

The presented product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, produced from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x1.5 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 10x1.5 / N38 model boasts high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.82 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect 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 miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 professional component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins 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 automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x1.5 mm, which, at a weight of 0.88 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. 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 power of the NdFeB material. 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 1.5 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their strength is maintained, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • The use of an elegant finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of individual shaping and adapting to complex needs,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they serve a role in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, also complex engineering applications.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which allows their use in miniature devices

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets in special housings. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size, as well as shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex shapes - preferred is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • 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. Furthermore, tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

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

Holding force of 0.82 kg is a measurement result performed under the following configuration:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • whose thickness is min. 10 mm
  • characterized by lack of roughness
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at temperature room level

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

Real force is influenced by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or debris).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Hardened steels may attract less.
  • Smoothness – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a smooth steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
GPS Danger

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Maintain magnets close to a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Keep away from computers

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and delicate electronics (heart implants, hearing aids, timepieces).

Magnet fragility

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Medical interference

People with a heart stimulator have to keep an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Crushing force

Big blocks can smash fingers in a fraction of a second. Under no circumstances put your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Sensitization to coating

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Danger to the youngest

Strictly store magnets away from children. Choking hazard is significant, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Permanent damage

Avoid heat. Neodymium magnets are susceptible to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Safe operation

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets attract from a long distance and snap with huge force, often quicker than you can move away.

Flammability

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.
