1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Power loss vs temp

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.29

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.

Other offers

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, made from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x2 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 10x2 / N38 component 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 impressive force (approx. 1.27 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields 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 12.50 N with a weight of only 1.18 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision component. To ensure stability in automation, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering an optimal price-to-power ratio and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø10x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 2 mm. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.27 kg (force ~12.50 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high grade 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 2 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their magnetic capacity, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Neodymium magnets are highly resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
  • Thanks to the smooth finish, the coating of nickel, gold-plated, or silver gives an professional appearance,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • 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...
  • Possibility of detailed creating and modifying to complex requirements,
  • Key role in advanced technology sectors – they are utilized in hard drives, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in compact dimensions, which makes them useful in compact constructions

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • 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.
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (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
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. To use them in conditions outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which prevent oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We recommend cover - magnetic mechanism, due to difficulties in producing nuts inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Furthermore, small elements of these products are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat contributes to it?

Holding force of 1.27 kg is a result of laboratory testing performed under standard conditions:
  • using a base made of low-carbon steel, serving as a magnetic yoke
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane free of scratches
  • with zero gap (without paint)
  • under axial force vector (90-degree angle)
  • at ambient temperature approx. 20 degrees Celsius

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, including (from priority):
  • Clearance – the presence of any layer (paint, dirt, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Force direction – note that the magnet has greatest strength perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the capacity drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Substrate thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Metal type – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Thermal conditions – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was determined with the use of a steel plate with a smooth surface of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Crushing force

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

GPS Danger

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals experience a sensitization to Ni, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to a rash. We recommend use protective gloves.

Do not underestimate power

Use magnets consciously. Their immense force can shock even experienced users. Plan your moves and do not underestimate their force.

ICD Warning

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

Choking Hazard

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

Safe distance

Avoid bringing magnets close to a wallet, laptop, or screen. The magnetic field can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Fire risk

Powder created during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Fragile material

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are prone to chipping. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Permanent damage

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