1. Wall mount (shear)

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Power loss vs temp

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.50

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.

Other offers

The presented product is a very strong rod magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x4 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 10x4 / N38 component boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 2.80 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Moreover, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is ideal for building generators, advanced sensors, and efficient filters, where field concentration on a small surface counts. 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 immediate cracking of this precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, 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 frequently chosen 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 available off-the-shelf in our store.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 4 mm. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 2.80 kg (force ~27.42 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. 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. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They retain full power for nearly 10 years – the loss is just ~1% (in theory),
  • Magnets very well resist against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • By using a lustrous layer of nickel, the element gains an modern look,
  • Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet remains maximum,
  • 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 exact forming and adapting to precise applications,
  • Versatile presence in modern technologies – they are used in mass storage devices, drive modules, advanced medical instruments, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Disadvantages

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a steel housing, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is cover - magnet mounting.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Pull force analysis

Breakaway strength of the magnet in ideal conditionswhat affects it?

Magnet power is the result of a measurement for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • on a base made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic flux
  • with a thickness no less than 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with direct contact (no impurities)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • in stable room temperature

What influences lifting capacity in practice

Holding efficiency is influenced by specific conditions, mainly (from priority):
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the metal), as even a very small clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Pull-off angle – remember that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
  • Wall thickness – thin material does not allow full use of the magnet. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of converting into lifting capacity.
  • Steel type – low-carbon steel gives the best results. Higher carbon content lower magnetic permeability and lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases force. Uneven metal reduce efficiency.
  • Operating temperature – NdFeB sinters have a sensitivity to temperature. When it is hot they lose power, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a smooth steel plate of suitable thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular detachment force, however under shearing force the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

Safe handling of neodymium magnets
Magnet fragility

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

Hand protection

Watch your fingers. Two large magnets will join instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Heat sensitivity

Avoid heat. NdFeB magnets are sensitive to heat. If you require resistance above 80°C, inquire about special high-temperature series (H, SH, UH).

This is not a toy

Only for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, causing intestinal necrosis. Keep away from children and animals.

Handling rules

Use magnets with awareness. Their huge power can shock even professionals. Be vigilant and respect their force.

Do not drill into magnets

Dust generated during machining of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets unless you are an expert.

Cards and drives

Do not bring magnets close to a purse, computer, or screen. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Warning for heart patients

Warning for patients: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to handle the magnets.

Magnetic interference

GPS units and mobile phones are extremely susceptible to magnetic fields. Close proximity with a powerful NdFeB magnet can permanently damage the sensors in your phone.

Nickel allergy

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a strong allergen. If you have an allergy, prevent touching magnets with bare hands or select encased magnets.

Danger! More info about hazards in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
