1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Steel thickness impact

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) severely limits the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the max working temp is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 1.38

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.

Other proposals

The offered product is an extremely powerful cylinder magnet, composed of advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x30 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 10x30 / N38 model features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 1.92 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 18.79 N with a weight of only 17.67 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in electronics and wherever low weight is crucial.
Since our magnets have a very precise dimensions, 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 durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are strong enough for 90% of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø10x30), 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 Ø10x30 mm, which, at a weight of 17.67 g, makes it an element with high magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the lifting capacity amounting to approximately 1.92 kg (force ~18.79 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.
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 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Pros as well as cons of rare earth magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their long-term stability, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over around 10 years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • The use of an shiny layer of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to have aesthetics,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a powerful magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Neodymium magnets are characterized by extremely high magnetic induction on the magnet surface and are able to act (depending on the shape) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • In view of the potential of accurate shaping and customization to individualized projects, neodymium magnets can be manufactured in a broad palette of geometric configurations, which makes them more universal,
  • Fundamental importance in modern industrial fields – they are used in mass storage devices, drive modules, medical equipment, as well as modern systems.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At very strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage and increases the magnet's durability.
  • NdFeB magnets lose power when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent drop of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • 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 possibility of producing threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - mounting mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, if swallowed, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

The lifting capacity listed is a measurement result executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • using a base made of mild steel, acting as a circuit closing element
  • with a thickness minimum 10 mm
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • with zero gap (without impurities)
  • during detachment in a direction vertical to the mounting surface
  • at standard ambient temperature

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the metal), as even a microscopic distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) can cause a drastic drop in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Load vector – maximum parameter is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the surface is typically several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be adequately massive. Paper-thin metal restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Chemical composition of the base – low-carbon steel attracts best. Higher carbon content decrease magnetic properties and lifting capacity.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Any scratches and bumps create air cushions, reducing force.
  • Thermal environment – heating the magnet results in weakening of force. Check the thermal limit for a given model.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. In addition, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Precautions when working with NdFeB magnets
Medical implants

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields affect medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to handle the magnets.

Choking Hazard

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating multiple magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

GPS and phone interference

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Maintain magnets near a device to avoid breaking the sensors.

Demagnetization risk

Control the heat. Heating the magnet to high heat will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Bone fractures

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, destroying anything in their path. Be careful!

Protect data

Avoid bringing magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Eye protection

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are fragile like glass. Impact of two magnets leads to them breaking into small pieces.

Warning for allergy sufferers

Some people have a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact may cause an allergic reaction. It is best to wear safety gloves.

Conscious usage

Be careful. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with huge force, often quicker than you can react.

Machining danger

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Avoid machining magnets in home conditions as this may cause fire.
