1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) significantly reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For N38 grade, 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

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.

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x3 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 2.15 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 21.04 N with a weight of only 1.77 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
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 professional component. To ensure stability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Grade N38 is the most popular standard for professional neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. 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 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 holding force amounting to approximately 2.15 kg (force ~21.04 N), which, with such defined 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.
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. Thanks to this, the magnet can be easily glued into a hole and achieve a strong field on the front surface. On request, we can also produce versions magnetized through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Advantages

Besides their remarkable field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after 10 years the decline in efficiency is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They do not lose their magnetic properties even under strong external field,
  • A magnet with a shiny gold surface is more attractive,
  • Magnets exhibit exceptionally strong magnetic induction on the outer layer,
  • Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal resistance, allowing for action at temperatures reaching 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to modularity in constructing and the capacity to customize to individual projects,
  • Fundamental importance in modern technologies – they serve a role in data components, electric drive systems, diagnostic systems, also industrial machines.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and proposals for their use:
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their strength at high temperatures. To prevent this, we suggest our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • 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, when using outdoors
  • Limited ability of producing nuts in the magnet and complex forms - recommended is cover - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which gains importance in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small components of these devices can be problematic in diagnostics medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets is economically unviable,

Holding force characteristics

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

The specified lifting capacity refers to the limit force, recorded under ideal test conditions, specifically:
  • using a plate made of low-carbon steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a massiveness of at least 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • characterized by smoothness
  • under conditions of no distance (surface-to-surface)
  • under vertical force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Bear in mind that the application force will differ subject to the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance – existence of any layer (paint, tape, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is available only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the plate is typically many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Paper-thin metal restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – mild steel attracts best. Alloy steels reduce magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature – heating the magnet causes a temporary drop of force. It is worth remembering the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a polished steel plate of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Beware of splinters

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Swallowing risk

These products are not toys. Accidental ingestion of several magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a critical condition and necessitates urgent medical intervention.

Fire risk

Fire warning: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this may cause fire.

Pinching danger

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, crushing everything in their path. Be careful!

Nickel coating and allergies

Nickel alert: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If redness appears, immediately stop working with magnets and wear gloves.

Respect the power

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their force.

Phone sensors

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly sensitive to magnetism. Direct contact with a strong magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Danger to pacemakers

Medical warning: Neodymium magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

Demagnetization risk

Monitor thermal conditions. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will destroy its properties and strength.

Electronic hazard

Do not bring magnets near a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetism can destroy these devices and wipe information from cards.
