1. Wall mount (shear)

*Note: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds merely a fraction of its perpendicular strength.

2. Steel saturation

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) severely weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.66

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.

Field Strength

Other proposals

The offered product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x6 mm, guarantees optimal power. The MW 10x6 / N38 component is characterized by a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with significant force (approx. 3.38 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Furthermore, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating effectively protects it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
It successfully proves itself in DIY projects, advanced robotics, and broadly understood industry, serving as a positioning or actuating element. Thanks to the high power of 33.12 N with a weight of only 3.53 g, this cylindrical magnet is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 two-component epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, anaerobic resins are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability 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 the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø10x6), 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 Ø10x6 mm, which, at a weight of 3.53 g, makes it an element with impressive magnetic energy density. The key parameter here is the holding force amounting to approximately 3.38 kg (force ~33.12 N), which, with such compact dimensions, proves the high power of the NdFeB material. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which protects the surface against external factors, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This cylinder is magnetized axially (along the height of 6 mm), which means that the N and S poles are located on the flat, circular surfaces. 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

Besides their immense pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • They are resistant to demagnetization induced by presence of other magnetic fields,
  • The use of an refined coating of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to look better,
  • 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 can function (depending on the form) even at a temperature of 230°C or more...
  • Due to the possibility of flexible shaping and adaptation to individualized projects, neodymium magnets can be produced in a variety of geometric configurations, which amplifies use scope,
  • Universal use in electronics industry – they find application in HDD drives, drive modules, precision medical tools, and modern systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, in miniature format,

Limitations

What to avoid - cons of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • Brittleness is one of their disadvantages. Upon strong impact they can fracture. We recommend keeping them in a special holder, which not only protects them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in power. 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
  • They oxidize in a humid environment - during use outdoors we suggest using waterproof magnets e.g. in rubber, plastic
  • Due to limitations in realizing threads and complicated forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the context of child safety. Additionally, small elements of these devices can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to complex production process, their price exceeds standard values,

Lifting parameters

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

The force parameter is a theoretical maximum value executed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • on a plate made of structural steel, optimally conducting the magnetic field
  • with a thickness of at least 10 mm
  • characterized by smoothness
  • with zero gap (without coatings)
  • for force acting at a right angle (pull-off, not shear)
  • at conditions approx. 20°C

Determinants of lifting force in real conditions

Please note that the magnet holding may be lower influenced by the following factors, starting with the most relevant:
  • Clearance – existence of foreign body (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces capacity steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – maximum parameter is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually many times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet limits the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface condition – ground elements ensure maximum contact, which increases field saturation. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Thermal factor – hot environment weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on the plate surface of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, however under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Additionally, even a small distance between the magnet and the plate lowers the load capacity.

Warnings
Bodily injuries

Protect your hands. Two powerful magnets will snap together instantly with a force of massive weight, destroying anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Medical implants

People with a pacemaker have to maintain an large gap from magnets. The magnetic field can disrupt the operation of the implant.

Demagnetization risk

Regular neodymium magnets (grade N) lose power when the temperature surpasses 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Combustion hazard

Dust produced during cutting of magnets is flammable. Do not drill into magnets unless you are an expert.

Magnetic media

Powerful magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and other magnetic media. Stay away of min. 10 cm.

Phone sensors

Be aware: rare earth magnets produce a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a safe distance from your mobile, device, and GPS.

Immense force

Before use, read the rules. Sudden snapping can break the magnet or hurt your hand. Think ahead.

Eye protection

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting shards into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

This is not a toy

Adult use only. Small elements can be swallowed, causing serious injuries. Store out of reach of children and animals.

Nickel coating and allergies

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating contains nickel. If skin irritation appears, immediately stop handling magnets and wear gloves.
