1. Vertical hold

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet holds only approx. 20-30% of its max power.

2. Steel saturation

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

3. Thermal stability

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

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

chart generated for the permeance coefficient Pc (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.13

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.

The presented product is a very strong cylinder magnet, composed of durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x1 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. This specific item features high dimensional repeatability and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a cylindrical magnet with significant force (approx. 0.42 kg), this product is in stock from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Additionally, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is perfect for building electric motors, advanced sensors, and efficient magnetic separators, where field concentration on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 4.15 N with a weight of only 0.85 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., 12.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing high repeatability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable for the majority of applications in automation and machine building, where excessive miniaturization with maximum force is not required. If you need the strongest magnets in the same volume (Ø12x1), 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 12 mm and height 1 mm. The value of 4.15 N means that the magnet is capable of holding a weight many times exceeding its own mass of 0.85 g. The product has a [NiCuNi] coating, which secures it against oxidation, giving it an aesthetic, silvery shine.
This rod magnet is magnetized axially (along the height of 1 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.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of neodymium magnets.

Advantages

Besides their exceptional field intensity, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They do not lose power, even over nearly 10 years – the decrease in power is only ~1% (based on measurements),
  • They are extremely resistant to demagnetization induced by external field influence,
  • In other words, due to the glossy layer of nickel, the element looks attractive,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets are capable of operate (depending on the shape) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Considering the option of flexible molding and customization to individualized requirements, NdFeB magnets can be created in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which expands the range of possible applications,
  • Significant place in modern industrial fields – they are used in magnetic memories, motor assemblies, medical equipment, and industrial machines.
  • Thanks to concentrated force, small magnets offer high operating force, with minimal size,

Weaknesses

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:
  • They are prone to damage upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer 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
  • Magnets exposed to a humid environment can rust. Therefore during using outdoors, we recommend using water-impermeable magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complicated shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic mechanism.
  • Possible danger related to microscopic parts of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these magnets are able to complicate diagnosis medical when they are in the body.
  • High unit price – neodymium magnets cost more than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which hinders application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum magnetic pulling forcewhat affects it?

Information about lifting capacity was determined for the most favorable conditions, assuming:
  • using a plate made of high-permeability steel, serving as a circuit closing element
  • possessing a thickness of min. 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with a plane cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (metal-to-metal)
  • under axial application of breakaway force (90-degree angle)
  • at temperature room level

Practical lifting capacity: influencing factors

Please note that the working load will differ depending on elements below, in order of importance:
  • Distance (betwixt the magnet and the plate), because even a tiny clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a drastic drop in force by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, rust or dirt).
  • Direction of force – highest force is reached only during perpendicular pulling. The shear force of the magnet along the plate is usually several times smaller (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel does not close the flux, causing part of the flux to be wasted to the other side.
  • Material composition – different alloys reacts the same. Alloy additives worsen the attraction effect.
  • Surface finish – ideal contact is possible only on polished steel. Rough texture create air cushions, weakening the magnet.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment weakens magnetic field. Exceeding the limit temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity was assessed using a steel plate with a smooth surface of optimal thickness (min. 20 mm), under perpendicular pulling force, whereas under parallel forces the holding force is lower. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate decreases the load capacity.

H&S for magnets
ICD Warning

For implant holders: Powerful magnets affect electronics. Maintain at least 30 cm distance or request help to work with the magnets.

Electronic devices

Equipment safety: Strong magnets can ruin payment cards and delicate electronics (pacemakers, medical aids, mechanical watches).

Heat sensitivity

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) lose power when the temperature goes above 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Machining danger

Drilling and cutting of neodymium magnets carries a risk of fire risk. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

GPS Danger

A strong magnetic field negatively affects the functioning of compasses in phones and GPS navigation. Do not bring magnets close to a smartphone to avoid damaging the sensors.

Eye protection

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.

Adults only

Product intended for adults. Small elements pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Sensitization to coating

Certain individuals experience a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to dermatitis. We recommend use protective gloves.

Serious injuries

Watch your fingers. Two powerful magnets will join immediately with a force of massive weight, destroying everything in their path. Be careful!

Caution required

Handle magnets with awareness. Their immense force can surprise even professionals. Be vigilant and do not underestimate their force.

Warning! More info about hazards in the article: Safety of working with magnets.
