1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds just approx. 20-30% of its nominal pull.

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin metal sheet (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically reduces the holding force.

3. Heat tolerance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.59

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.

Magnetic Field

Other proposals

The presented product is an extremely powerful cylindrical magnet, manufactured from advanced NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 3.19 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring lightning-fast order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a fastening or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 31.28 N with a weight of only 2.95 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 precision component. To ensure long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need even stronger magnets in the same volume (Ø10x5), 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 Ø10x5 mm, which, at a weight of 2.95 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 3.19 kg (force ~31.28 N), which, with such defined dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it 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 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 through the diameter if your project requires it.

Strengths and weaknesses of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Benefits

In addition to their pulling strength, neodymium magnets provide the following advantages:
  • Their strength remains stable, and after around ten years it drops only by ~1% (according to research),
  • Neodymium magnets prove to be highly resistant to demagnetization caused by external interference,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of Ni-Cu-Ni, gold, or silver-plated gives an professional appearance,
  • Magnets have impressive magnetic induction on the working surface,
  • Made from properly selected components, these magnets show impressive resistance to high heat, enabling them to function (depending on their shape) at temperatures up to 230°C and above...
  • Thanks to the option of accurate shaping and adaptation to individualized solutions, magnetic components can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Key role in innovative solutions – they are utilized in hard drives, electromotive mechanisms, diagnostic systems, as well as other advanced devices.
  • Thanks to efficiency per cm³, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we recommend using special steel holders. Such a solution secures the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we recommend our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
  • They oxidize in a humid environment. For use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
  • Health risk related to microscopic parts of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child health protection. Furthermore, small components of these devices can disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Holding force characteristics

Maximum lifting force for a neodymium magnet – what it depends on?

The load parameter shown concerns the peak performance, measured under optimal environment, specifically:
  • on a block made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic flux
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with a surface free of scratches
  • with zero gap (no impurities)
  • during pulling in a direction perpendicular to the plane
  • in stable room temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

In practice, the actual lifting capacity results from a number of factors, ranked from crucial:
  • Space between magnet and steel – even a fraction of a millimeter of separation (caused e.g. by veneer or unevenness) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under shear forces, the holding force drops drastically, often to levels of 20-30% of the nominal value.
  • Wall thickness – the thinner the sheet, the weaker the hold. Part of the magnetic field penetrates through instead of generating force.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Stainless steels may have worse magnetic properties.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when a perpendicular force was applied, in contrast under parallel forces the load capacity is reduced by as much as fivefold. Additionally, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the holding force.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Compass and GPS

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in smartphones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid breaking the sensors.

Electronic devices

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

Permanent damage

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

Avoid contact if allergic

Medical facts indicate that the nickel plating (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact or opt for versions in plastic housing.

Magnets are brittle

Despite metallic appearance, the material is brittle and cannot withstand shocks. Do not hit, as the magnet may crumble into sharp, dangerous pieces.

Combustion hazard

Combustion risk: Rare earth powder is highly flammable. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Handling guide

Use magnets with awareness. Their powerful strength can surprise even professionals. Stay alert and do not underestimate their power.

Hand protection

Pinching hazard: The pulling power is so immense that it can result in hematomas, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

No play value

Strictly keep magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is high, and the consequences of magnets clamping inside the body are life-threatening.

Implant safety

Life threat: Strong magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Stay away if you have medical devices.
