1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just a fraction of its nominal pull.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*For N38 material, 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

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 exceptionally strong rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x2 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 1.27 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 12.50 N with a weight of only 1.18 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
Since our magnets have a tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method 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 automation, anaerobic resins are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough 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 (Ø10x2), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard in continuous sale in our store.
This model is characterized by dimensions Ø10x2 mm, which, at a weight of 1.18 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. 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 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 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

In addition to their magnetic efficiency, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They retain attractive force for nearly ten years – the drop is just ~1% (according to analyses),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • By using a lustrous layer of silver, the element gains an proper look,
  • They show high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which affects their effectiveness,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to adapt to individual projects,
  • Universal use in future technologies – they are used in HDD drives, electromotive mechanisms, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are prone to damage upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • NdFeB magnets demagnetize 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 extremely resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we advise using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of making nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - magnetic holder.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small components of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process 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

Lifting parameters

Highest magnetic holding forcewhat affects it?

Breakaway force was determined for the most favorable conditions, including:
  • using a base made of high-permeability steel, functioning as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under vertical force vector (90-degree angle)
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Lifting capacity in real conditions – factors

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, including (from most important):
  • Air gap (betwixt the magnet and the plate), since even a very small distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or debris).
  • Angle of force application – highest force is reached only during pulling at a 90° angle. The resistance to sliding of the magnet along the surface is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Metal thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel grade – ideal substrate is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the larger the contact zone and higher the lifting capacity. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Temperature influence – high temperature weakens pulling force. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was tested on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet’s surface and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Do not underestimate power

Handle magnets consciously. Their powerful strength can shock even professionals. Plan your moves and respect their power.

Magnetic media

Equipment safety: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and delicate electronics (pacemakers, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Do not overheat magnets

Keep cool. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to temperature. If you require operation above 80°C, look for special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

Magnets are brittle

Neodymium magnets are sintered ceramics, meaning they are prone to chipping. Collision of two magnets will cause them shattering into small pieces.

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Choking Hazard

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Crushing force

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not place your hand betwixt two strong magnets.

Life threat

Health Alert: Strong magnets can turn off heart devices and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Precision electronics

Note: neodymium magnets produce a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your phone, tablet, and GPS.

Allergic reactions

Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching might lead to an allergic reaction. We recommend wear protective gloves.
