1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains just approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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.

Pulling force

Magnetic Field

View more offers

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylindrical magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, with dimensions of Ø10x5 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item boasts high dimensional repeatability 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 available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It finds application in modeling, advanced automation, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the pull force 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 brittleness of the NdFeB material, you must not use 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.
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 (Ø10x5), contact us regarding higher grades (e.g., N50, N52), however, N38 is the standard available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
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 value of 31.28 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 2.95 g. 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their remarkable pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They have unchanged lifting capacity, and over more than ten years their attraction force decreases symbolically – ~1% (according to theory),
  • They feature excellent resistance to magnetism drop when exposed to external magnetic sources,
  • The use of an aesthetic finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • They feature high magnetic induction at the operating surface, making them more effective,
  • Through (adequate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling action at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
  • Due to the possibility of precise shaping and customization to unique requirements, magnetic components can be manufactured in a broad palette of shapes and sizes, which increases their versatility,
  • Significant place in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and modern systems.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they generate large force, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a strong case, which not only protects them against impacts but also increases their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in force. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power 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
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, in case of application outdoors
  • Limited possibility of making threads in the magnet and complex forms - preferred is casing - magnet mounting.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets can be problematic in diagnostics medical after entering the body.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat it depends on?

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, taking into account:
  • on a block made of structural steel, effectively closing the magnetic field
  • whose transverse dimension equals approx. 10 mm
  • with an polished contact surface
  • under conditions of no distance (metal-to-metal)
  • for force acting at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

During everyday use, the real power depends on many variables, presented from the most important:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), as even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or dirt).
  • Loading method – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When slipping, the magnet holds significantly lower power (often approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Substrate thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the larger the contact zone and stronger the hold. Unevenness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – neodymium magnets have a sensitivity to temperature. At higher temperatures they lose power, and in frost gain strength (up to a certain limit).

Holding force was measured on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the holding force is lower. In addition, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate reduces the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Threat to navigation

GPS units and smartphones are extremely sensitive to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can decalibrate the internal compass in your phone.

Health Danger

Individuals with a pacemaker have to maintain an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can interfere with the operation of the implant.

Physical harm

Danger of trauma: The attraction force is so immense that it can result in blood blisters, pinching, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Electronic devices

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

Handling rules

Exercise caution. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

Do not drill into magnets

Dust produced during machining of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Operating temperature

Control the heat. Exposing the magnet above 80 degrees Celsius will ruin its magnetic structure and pulling force.

Nickel coating and allergies

A percentage of the population experience a contact allergy to Ni, which is the standard coating for NdFeB magnets. Extended handling might lead to a rash. We strongly advise use protective gloves.

Product not for children

Always store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are very dangerous.

Protective goggles

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