1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*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) = 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.

This product is an incredibly powerful rod magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 2.60 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced robotics, 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 cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, the best method 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 industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need even stronger 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 warehouse.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x15 mm, which, at a weight of 8.84 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.60 kg (force ~25.51 N), which, with such defined 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.
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. 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.

Pros and cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable power, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They retain full power for around ten years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external magnetic sources,
  • In other words, due to the reflective finish of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a concentrated magnetic field – this is a distinguishing 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...
  • Due to the ability of precise forming and customization to specialized needs, neodymium magnets can be produced in a wide range of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they find application in mass storage devices, electric motors, advanced medical instruments, as well as multitasking production systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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 recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We recommend casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in creating threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting capacity of the magnetwhat it depends on?

The declared magnet strength represents the maximum value, measured under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a magnetic yoke
  • with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Please note that the application force will differ influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the plate is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – too thin sheet does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be escaped into the air.
  • Steel type – mild steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface structure – the more even the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of induction. It is worth remembering the maximum operating temperature 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 lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the lifting capacity.

Warnings
Do not underestimate power

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.

Cards and drives

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on credit cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Do not overheat magnets

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

Impact on smartphones

GPS units and smartphones are extremely susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can ruin the sensors in your phone.

Finger safety

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Allergy Warning

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

Danger to the youngest

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Store out of reach of kids and pets.

Pacemakers

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Magnets are brittle

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

Flammability

Powder produced during cutting of magnets is combustible. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Important! Learn more about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
