1. Vertical hold

*Note: On a vertical wall, the magnet holds only ~20% of its nominal pull.

2. Plate thickness effect

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

3. Temperature resistance

*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) = 0.66

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.

This product is an extremely powerful rod magnet, made from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø10x6 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item is characterized by an accuracy of ±0.1mm and industrial build quality, making it a perfect solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with impressive force (approx. 3.38 kg), this product is in stock from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in typical operating conditions, ensuring an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 33.12 N with a weight of only 3.53 g, this rod is indispensable in miniature devices and wherever every gram matters.
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 long-term durability in automation, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which do not react with the nickel coating and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets NdFeB grade N38 are strong enough for the majority of applications in modeling and machine building, where extreme miniaturization with maximum force is not required. 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 available off-the-shelf in our warehouse.
The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: diameter 10 mm and height 6 mm. The value of 33.12 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 3.53 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.

Advantages

Besides their tremendous magnetic power, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • Their power remains stable, and after around 10 years it drops only by ~1% (theoretically),
  • Magnets perfectly protect themselves against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • In other words, due to the reflective finish of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • Neodymium magnets deliver maximum magnetic induction on a small area, which allows for strong attraction,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they are able to function (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to adapt to client solutions,
  • Wide application in modern industrial fields – they are commonly used in computer drives, brushless drives, diagnostic systems, also other advanced devices.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in small dimensions, which makes them useful in small systems

Limitations

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • At strong impacts they can crack, therefore we recommend placing them in special holders. A metal housing provides additional protection against damage, as well as increases the magnet's durability.
  • Neodymium magnets decrease their strength under the influence of heating. As soon as 80°C is exceeded, many of them start losing their power. Therefore, we recommend our special magnets marked [AH], which maintain durability even at temperatures up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets usually rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • We recommend casing - magnetic holder, due to difficulties in realizing threads inside the magnet and complicated forms.
  • Potential hazard related to microscopic parts of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child health protection. Additionally, small elements of these devices are able to complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets are more expensive than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Magnetic strength at its maximum – what affects it?

Holding force of 3.38 kg is a measurement result performed under specific, ideal conditions:
  • with the application of a yoke made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to avoid saturation
  • with an ground touching surface
  • with total lack of distance (no impurities)
  • under perpendicular application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at standard ambient temperature

Determinants of practical lifting force of a magnet

During everyday use, the actual holding force results from several key aspects, ranked from the most important:
  • Gap between surfaces – even a fraction of a millimeter of distance (caused e.g. by veneer or dirt) drastically reduces the magnet efficiency, often by half at just 0.5 mm.
  • Force direction – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of maximum force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin plate does not accept the full field, causing part of the power to be lost into the air.
  • Material type – ideal substrate is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Base smoothness – the smoother and more polished the surface, the better the adhesion and stronger the hold. Roughness acts like micro-gaps.
  • Heat – NdFeB sinters have a negative temperature coefficient. At higher temperatures they are weaker, and at low temperatures they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity was measured by applying a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under vertically applied force, however under parallel forces the holding force is lower. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
Precision electronics

Navigation devices and smartphones are highly susceptible to magnetism. Close proximity with a strong magnet can permanently damage the internal compass in your phone.

Product not for children

These products are not suitable for play. Accidental ingestion of several magnets can lead to them pinching intestinal walls, which poses a critical condition and requires urgent medical intervention.

Medical interference

For implant holders: Strong magnetic fields disrupt medical devices. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Dust explosion hazard

Combustion risk: Neodymium dust is explosive. Do not process magnets without safety gear as this risks ignition.

Pinching danger

Mind your fingers. Two large magnets will join immediately with a force of several hundred kilograms, crushing anything in their path. Exercise extreme caution!

Fragile material

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

Demagnetization risk

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

Magnetic media

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can damage payment cards and sensitive devices (heart implants, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Warning for allergy sufferers

Warning for allergy sufferers: The nickel-copper-nickel coating consists of nickel. If an allergic reaction happens, cease handling magnets and wear gloves.

Powerful field

Handle with care. Neodymium magnets act from a distance and snap with huge force, often faster than you can move away.

Important! Learn more about risks in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
