1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.89

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 offers

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 10x10 / N38 model boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 3.18 kg), this product is in stock 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, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. 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.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 10.1 mm) using two-component epoxy glues. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability 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 even stronger 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 10 mm. 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 protects the surface against oxidation, 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. Such an arrangement is most desirable 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 and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (based on simulations),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to be more visually attractive,
  • Magnets possess excellent magnetic induction on the surface,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as industrial machines.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel holders. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation and corrosion.
  • We suggest cover - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing nuts inside the magnet and complex shapes.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown represents the limit force, measured under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Real force is affected by working environment parameters, including (from priority):
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to detachment vertically. When slipping, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Danger to pacemakers

Patients with a ICD should maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the operation of the implant.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Allergy Notice: The Ni-Cu-Ni coating contains nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.

Hand protection

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so great that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets attract from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Electronic hazard

Avoid bringing magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Maximum temperature

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need operation above 80°C, look for HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Choking Hazard

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are tragic.

Eye protection

Watch out for shards. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Keep magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Fire risk

Fire hazard: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Warning! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
