1. Sliding resistance

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For N38 grade, the critical limit 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.

Other offers

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 2.60 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 25.51 N with a weight of only 8.84 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 secures it 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Besides their tremendous field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even during nearly ten years – the reduction in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetism drop due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the metallic surface of silver, the element gains a professional look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a maximum magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to versatility in shaping and the ability to adapt to complex applications,
  • Fundamental importance in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in computer drives, motor assemblies, advanced medical instruments, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can lose their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise 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 nuts and complex forms in magnets, we propose using a housing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
  • Due to neodymium price, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity represents the maximum value, recorded under laboratory conditions, namely:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • with total lack of distance (without paint)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Key elements affecting lifting force

Bear in mind that the magnet holding may be lower subject to elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap between surfaces – every millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Magnetic flux passes through the material instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Surface quality – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Operating temperature – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined using a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Sensitization to coating

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. For allergy sufferers, refrain from direct skin contact and select versions in plastic housing.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Maximum temperature

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet to high heat will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Data carriers

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Pinching danger

Big blocks can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand between two strong magnets.

Machining danger

Powder generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Precision electronics

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the operation of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets close to a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Implant safety

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.

Do not give to children

These products are not intended for children. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a severe health hazard and necessitates immediate surgery.

Conscious usage

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.
