1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.89

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 offers

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 3.18 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 31.19 N with a weight of only 5.89 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø10x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x10 mm, which, at a weight of 5.89 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The value of 31.19 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 5.89 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 10 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.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even during approximately ten years – the drop in strength is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be exceptionally resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • The use of an elegant finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the option of precise shaping and customization to unique projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in future technologies – they serve a role in computer drives, brushless drives, precision medical tools, as well as complex engineering applications.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are extremely resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • We suggest a housing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complicated shapes.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what affects it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result performed under standard conditions:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • for force applied at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) acts as an insulator, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field passes through the material instead of generating force.
  • Material type – the best choice is pure iron steel. Hardened steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was determined by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, in contrast under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Compass and GPS

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts precision electronics. Maintain a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Thermal limits

Standard neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Allergic reactions

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent direct skin contact or choose coated magnets.

Eye protection

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.

Bodily injuries

Risk of injury: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, crushing, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Swallowing a few magnets can lead to them attracting across intestines, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Respect the power

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

Flammability

Dust generated during grinding of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Electronic devices

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Warning for heart patients

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Keep minimum 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.
