1. Vertical hold

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

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.50

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 an exceptionally strong cylindrical magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x4 mm, guarantees maximum efficiency. The MW 10x4 / N38 component boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 2.80 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing 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 pull force of 27.42 N with a weight of only 2.36 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever low weight is crucial.
Due to the delicate structure of the ceramic sinter, you must not use force-fitting (so-called press-fit), as this risks chipping the coating of this precision 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 industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and operational stability. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø10x4), 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 Ø10x4 mm, which, at a weight of 2.36 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The value of 27.42 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 2.36 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Pros

Apart from their superior holding force, neodymium magnets have these key benefits:
  • They do not lose magnetism, even over nearly ten years – the reduction in lifting capacity is only ~1% (according to tests),
  • Neodymium magnets are extremely resistant to magnetic field loss caused by external magnetic fields,
  • In other words, due to the reflective layer of silver, the element gains visual value,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is a distinguishing feature,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their form) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Possibility of detailed creating and adapting to individual applications,
  • Huge importance in modern technologies – they find application in HDD drives, brushless drives, advanced medical instruments, and multitasking production systems.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in compact dimensions, which allows their use in small systems

Weaknesses

Cons of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously improves its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • They rust in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing nuts and complicated forms in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets are risky, when accidentally swallowed, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Pull force analysis

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength concerns the limit force, obtained under ideal test conditions, namely:
  • with the use of a yoke made of low-carbon steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a massiveness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • without any insulating layer between the magnet and steel
  • under perpendicular force direction (90-degree angle)
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Lifting capacity in practice – influencing factors

It is worth knowing that the working load will differ influenced by elements below, in order of importance:
  • Gap between magnet and steel – every millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by varnish or dirt) significantly weakens the pulling force, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is standardly several times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Metal type – not every steel reacts the same. High carbon content weaken the attraction effect.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they lose power, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, whereas under attempts to slide the magnet the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with neodymium magnets
Allergy Warning

Certain individuals suffer from a hypersensitivity to Ni, which is the common plating for neodymium magnets. Extended handling can result in dermatitis. We recommend use protective gloves.

Threat to navigation

Note: rare earth magnets generate a field that confuses sensitive sensors. Maintain a separation from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Fire warning

Drilling and cutting of NdFeB material carries a risk of fire hazard. Magnetic powder oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Safe distance

Avoid bringing magnets near a wallet, computer, or screen. The magnetism can irreversibly ruin these devices and wipe information from cards.

Operating temperature

Watch the temperature. Heating the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will permanently weaken its magnetic structure and strength.

Product not for children

NdFeB magnets are not toys. Eating several magnets can lead to them connecting inside the digestive tract, which constitutes a critical condition and requires immediate surgery.

Bone fractures

Danger of trauma: The pulling power is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, pinching, and even bone fractures. Protective gloves are recommended.

Handling rules

Before use, read the rules. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Be predictive.

Pacemakers

Medical warning: Strong magnets can deactivate pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have electronic implants.

Shattering risk

Despite the nickel coating, neodymium is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may shatter into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Caution! More info about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
