1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, 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.

Field Strength

Other products

The offered product is an exceptionally strong cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x10 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 10x10 / N38 component features high dimensional repeatability and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 3.18 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning 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 miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, 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, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation 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 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 impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 3.18 kg (force ~31.19 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet 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 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their consistent holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • Neodymium magnets remain exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by magnetic disturbances,
  • In other words, due to the reflective layer of gold, the element looks attractive,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is impressive,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in constructing and the capacity to customize to specific needs,
  • Versatile presence in innovative solutions – they are used in hard drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • 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 stability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as magnets in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Limited possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex shapes - recommended is a housing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

Breakaway force was determined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • on a base made of mild steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with direct contact (without paint)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In real-world applications, the actual holding force results from many variables, presented from most significant:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Base smoothness – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
  • Thermal environment – temperature increase causes a temporary drop of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, in contrast under attempts to slide the magnet the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings
ICD Warning

Individuals with a heart stimulator must keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetism can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Mechanical processing

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Protect data

Do not bring magnets close to a wallet, computer, or TV. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.

Conscious usage

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

Sensitization to coating

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation occurs, cease handling magnets and use protective gear.

Risk of cracking

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

Magnetic interference

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your phone, device, and GPS.

Maximum temperature

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

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Do not give to children

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to severe trauma. Keep away from children and animals.
