1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly weakens 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) = 1.09

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.

This product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x15 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 10x15 / N38 model is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent 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 European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its 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 positioning 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 low weight is crucial.
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 long-term durability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 15 mm. The value of 25.51 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 8.84 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet 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 standard 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after ten years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They retain their magnetic properties even under external field action,
  • A magnet with a shiny silver surface has an effective appearance,
  • Magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet is exceptional,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Possibility of detailed modeling as well as modifying to complex requirements,
  • Significant place in future technologies – they serve a role in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, medical devices, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a steel housing, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of strength (a factor is the shape and dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we advise using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of producing threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - recommended is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, tiny parts of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, taking into account:
  • on a base made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • without any clearance between the magnet and steel
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • in neutral thermal conditions

What influences lifting capacity in practice

During everyday use, the real power results from several key aspects, ranked from most significant:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) diminishes the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is standardly many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the holding force.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Magnetic media

Device Safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Bone fractures

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in hematomas, pinching, and even bone fractures. Use thick gloves.

Compass and GPS

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

Protective goggles

Despite the nickel coating, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Machining danger

Mechanical processing of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Immense force

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. This process is irreversible.

Allergic reactions

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, cease working with magnets and wear gloves.

Danger to pacemakers

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

This is not a toy

These products are not toys. Accidental ingestion of multiple magnets may result in them attracting across intestines, which constitutes a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.
