1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Power loss vs temp

*For N38 material, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.40

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.

The presented product is a very strong cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x3 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 10x3 / N38 component is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 2.15 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring quick order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 21.04 N with a weight of only 1.77 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, we absolutely advise against 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 do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most frequently chosen standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø10x3), 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 Ø10x3 mm, which, at a weight of 1.77 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 2.15 kg (force ~21.04 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power 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 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • Their magnetic field remains stable, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
  • They show high resistance to demagnetization induced by external disturbances,
  • The use of an metallic coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • They are known for high magnetic induction at the operating surface, which increases their power,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to the potential of flexible molding and adaptation to custom projects, NdFeB magnets can be created in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Significant place in innovative solutions – they find application in computer drives, electromotive mechanisms, advanced medical instruments, as well as industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets in a protective case. Such protection not only shields the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • Neodymium magnets lose their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their force. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain stability even at temperatures up to 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 resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited ability of making threads in the magnet and complicated shapes - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, when accidentally swallowed, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets are able to be problematic in diagnostics medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which can limit application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Optimal lifting capacity of a neodymium magnetwhat it depends on?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for ideal contact conditions, taking into account:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring maximum field concentration
  • whose thickness equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

In real-world applications, the actual lifting capacity is determined by a number of factors, ranked from crucial:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Angle of force application – highest force is available only during perpendicular pulling. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Alloy admixtures decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – ground elements guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal conditions – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of suitable thickness, under perpendicular forces, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Precautions when working with neodymium magnets
Serious injuries

Big blocks can crush fingers instantly. Do not place your hand between two strong magnets.

Pacemakers

Patients with a pacemaker should keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the functioning of the implant.

Product not for children

Neodymium magnets are not intended for children. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a severe health hazard and requires urgent medical intervention.

Electronic devices

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and erase data from cards.

Immense force

Before starting, check safety instructions. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Shattering risk

NdFeB magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Collision of two magnets will cause them breaking into shards.

Phone sensors

A strong magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in smartphones and navigation systems. Do not bring magnets near a device to avoid damaging the sensors.

Power loss in heat

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Dust is flammable

Powder produced during grinding of magnets is self-igniting. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Skin irritation risks

Certain individuals have a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the standard coating for neodymium magnets. Frequent touching might lead to dermatitis. We suggest wear safety gloves.
