1. Shear force

*Caution: On a vertical surface, the magnet retains just a fraction of its max power.

2. Steel thickness impact

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

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the safety limit 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.

Field Strength

Other products

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, composed of modern NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x1 mm, guarantees the highest energy density. The MW 12x1 / N38 model features a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an ideal solution for the most demanding engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.42 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our warehouse in Poland, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, its triple-layer Ni-Cu-Ni coating shields it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, guaranteeing an aesthetic appearance and durability for years.
This model is created for building generators, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, where maximum induction on a small surface counts. Thanks to the high power of 4.15 N with a weight of only 0.85 g, this rod is indispensable in electronics and wherever every gram matters.
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 professional component. To ensure long-term durability in industry, specialized industrial adhesives are used, which are safe for nickel and fill the gap, guaranteeing durability of the connection.
Magnets N38 are suitable 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 (Ø12x1), 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 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. 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 and disadvantages of neodymium magnets.

Strengths

Besides their stability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They have stable power, and over around ten years their performance decreases symbolically – ~1% (in testing),
  • They have excellent resistance to magnetic field loss due to opposing magnetic fields,
  • The use of an elegant finish of noble metals (nickel, gold, silver) causes the element to present itself better,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a strong magnetic field – this is one of their assets,
  • 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 freedom in shaping and the capacity to adapt to specific needs,
  • Versatile presence in advanced technology sectors – they are commonly used in computer drives, electric drive systems, medical devices, and other advanced devices.
  • Compactness – despite small sizes they provide effective action, making them ideal for precision applications

Cons

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets and ways of using them
  • To avoid cracks upon strong impacts, we suggest using special steel housings. Such a solution protects the magnet and simultaneously increases its durability.
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets experience a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their strength 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 complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using casing - magnetic holder.
  • Potential hazard resulting from small fragments of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which becomes key in the context of child safety. It is also worth noting that small components of these magnets are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical in case of swallowing.
  • With large orders the cost of neodymium magnets can be a barrier,

Lifting parameters

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

Breakaway force was defined for optimal configuration, including:
  • on a base made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
  • possessing a massiveness of minimum 10 mm to ensure full flux closure
  • with an polished contact surface
  • with zero gap (no coatings)
  • during pulling in a direction vertical to the plane
  • at ambient temperature room level

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

During everyday use, the actual lifting capacity is determined by a number of factors, ranked from crucial:
  • Distance (between the magnet and the plate), as even a microscopic clearance (e.g. 0.5 mm) results in a decrease in force by up to 50% (this also applies to varnish, corrosion or debris).
  • Force direction – catalog parameter refers to pulling vertically. When applying parallel force, the magnet holds significantly lower power (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Steel thickness – too thin steel does not accept the full field, causing part of the flux to be wasted into the air.
  • Steel grade – the best choice is pure iron steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Surface finish – full contact is possible only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Thermal factor – high temperature weakens pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently demagnetize the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was conducted on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under perpendicular forces, whereas under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Warnings
Beware of splinters

Despite metallic appearance, the material is delicate and not impact-resistant. Avoid impacts, as the magnet may shatter into hazardous fragments.

Dust explosion hazard

Dust created during cutting of magnets is flammable. Avoid drilling into magnets without proper cooling and knowledge.

Phone sensors

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the functioning of compasses in phones and navigation systems. Keep magnets close to a smartphone to prevent damaging the sensors.

Medical implants

Life threat: Neodymium magnets can turn off pacemakers and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have medical devices.

Nickel allergy

Medical facts indicate that nickel (the usual finish) is a common allergen. For allergy sufferers, prevent direct skin contact or choose encased magnets.

Bone fractures

Risk of injury: The attraction force is so great that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Protective gloves are recommended.

Do not give to children

Product intended for adults. Tiny parts pose a choking risk, leading to serious injuries. Keep away from children and animals.

Permanent damage

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

Do not underestimate power

Exercise caution. Neodymium magnets attract from a long distance and snap with massive power, often quicker than you can move away.

Magnetic media

Device Safety: Strong magnets can damage data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Warning! More info about risks in the article: Magnet Safety Guide.
