1. Wall mount (shear)

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 material, the critical limit 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.

The presented product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x10 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 10x10 / N38 model is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive 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 typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 31.15 N with a weight of only 5.89 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks immediate cracking of this professional component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority 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 (Ø10x10), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 10 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 3.18 kg (force ~31.15 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high grade of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, 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. 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their remarkable magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They retain magnetic properties for almost 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Neodymium magnets are distinguished by remarkably resistant to loss of magnetic properties caused by external magnetic fields,
  • The use of an elegant layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a key 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...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to customize to individual projects,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they are used in magnetic memories, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • To avoid cracks under impact, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding 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 stable to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Limited possibility of creating nuts in the magnet and complicated forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result executed under standard conditions:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

During everyday use, the real power results from many variables, ranked from crucial:
  • Space between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – 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 – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content worsen the interaction with the magnet.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, however under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Operating temperature

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose magnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Threat to navigation

Be aware: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Nickel allergy

It is widely known that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, avoid touching magnets with bare hands or opt for coated magnets.

Beware of splinters

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

Pinching danger

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Keep away from children

Always keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Respect the power

Before use, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Flammability

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Warning for heart patients

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
