1. Sliding resistance

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

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 safety limit is 80°C.

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

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

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 exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item boasts an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 1.27 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the pull force of 12.50 N with a weight of only 1.18 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the recommended way is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 10.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for 90% of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 2 mm. The value of 12.50 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 1.18 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface 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.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their high retention, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have constant strength, and over nearly 10 years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by external magnetic fields,
  • A magnet with a smooth nickel surface has better aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are capable of working (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • In view of the potential of precise forming and customization to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be manufactured in a variety of geometric configurations, which increases their versatility,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in data components, drive modules, diagnostic systems, and industrial machines.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can break. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases 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.
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material stable to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • We suggest casing - magnetic mount, due to difficulties in producing threads inside the magnet and complex forms.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Holding force characteristics

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat it depends on?

Breakaway force is the result of a measurement for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • with the application of a sheet made of low-carbon steel, guaranteeing full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an ideally smooth touching surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

In practice, the actual holding force depends on several key aspects, presented from the most important:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), because even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, rust or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet holds much less (often approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel causes magnetic saturation, causing part of the power to be wasted to the other side.
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and holding force.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves field saturation. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Product not for children

Only for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing severe trauma. Store away from children and animals.

Flammability

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

Warning for heart patients

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

Shattering risk

Watch out for shards. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Finger safety

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Safe operation

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Threat to electronics

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, computer, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Demagnetization risk

Watch the temperature. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and pulling force.

Metal Allergy

A percentage of the population suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching can result in an allergic reaction. We recommend use protective gloves.
