1. Wall mount (shear)

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. computer case) significantly limits the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.40

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 a very strong cylindrical magnet, made from modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x3 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 2.15 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force of 21.04 N with a weight of only 1.77 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø10x3), 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 Ø10x3 mm, which, at a weight of 1.77 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.15 kg (force ~21.04 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 oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 3 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.

Pros as well as cons of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Apart from their notable magnetic energy, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose power, because even after 10 years the performance loss is only ~1% (in laboratory conditions),
  • They possess excellent resistance to magnetic field loss as a result of external fields,
  • In other words, due to the glossy finish of gold, the element becomes visually attractive,
  • Magnets are characterized by maximum magnetic induction on the active area,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the shape) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Possibility of accurate shaping and optimizing to individual needs,
  • Huge importance in electronics industry – they serve a role in computer drives, motor assemblies, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Cons

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • At very strong impacts they can break, therefore we advise placing them in strong housings. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets demagnetize when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening 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
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we recommend using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small components of these devices are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Pull force analysis

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameterswhat it depends on?

Holding force of 2.15 kg is a theoretical maximum value executed under standard conditions:
  • using a sheet made of high-permeability steel, acting as a magnetic yoke
  • whose thickness reaches at least 10 mm
  • with an ground touching surface
  • with direct contact (without coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in neutral thermal conditions

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

During everyday use, the real power depends on many variables, ranked from crucial:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – maximum parameter is available only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Material composition – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Moreover, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Safe handling of NdFeB magnets
Choking Hazard

Absolutely keep magnets out of reach of children. Risk of swallowing is significant, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are very dangerous.

Nickel allergy

A percentage of the population have a contact allergy to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling can result in skin redness. We suggest wear safety gloves.

Permanent damage

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its properties and strength.

Electronic devices

Powerful magnetic fields can destroy records on payment cards, HDDs, and other magnetic media. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm.

Conscious usage

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can destroy the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Precision electronics

A powerful magnetic field disrupts the operation of compasses in smartphones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a smartphone to prevent breaking the sensors.

Flammability

Powder created during cutting of magnets is combustible. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Pinching danger

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Magnet fragility

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, meaning they are fragile like glass. Clashing of two magnets will cause them cracking into shards.

Danger to pacemakers

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Keep at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.
