Corrosion warning: Remember to wipe the magnet thoroughly after removing it from water and apply a protective layer (e.g., oil) to avoid corrosion.

1. Vertical hold

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains only ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Heat tolerance

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.09

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.

Pulling force


Magnetic Field

Other proposals

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x15 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 2.60 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 25.51 N with a weight of only 8.84 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use 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 high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø10x15), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x15 mm, which, at a weight of 8.84 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.60 kg (force ~25.51 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 oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 15 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

Apart from their superior magnetism, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the shiny layer of nickel, the element is aesthetically pleasing,
  • Magnets are distinguished by exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Considering the possibility of precise molding and adaptation to unique solutions, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric drive systems, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they offer powerful magnetic field, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 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 prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the limit force, recorded under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an ideally smooth contact surface
  • with total lack of distance (without coatings)
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • at room temperature

Key elements affecting lifting force

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity depends on many variables, presented from the most important:
  • Distance – existence of foreign body (paint, tape, gap) acts as an insulator, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Metal thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Magnetic flux penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may attract less.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Unevenness creates an air distance.
  • 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 the force acted perpendicularly, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Electronic devices

Data protection: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Power loss in heat

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Metal Allergy

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, avoid direct skin contact and choose encased magnets.

Caution required

Use magnets consciously. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Crushing risk

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Danger to the youngest

These products are not suitable for play. Swallowing several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Do not drill into magnets

Fire hazard: Neodymium dust is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this risks ignition.

Magnet fragility

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and not impact-resistant. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into hazardous fragments.

ICD Warning

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields affect electronics. Maintain minimum 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Phone sensors

GPS units and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetic fields. Direct contact with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

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