1. Vertical hold

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

2. Efficiency vs thickness

*Thin steel (e.g. 0.5mm PC case) drastically limits the holding force.

3. Thermal stability

*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) = 0.13

This simulation demonstrates the magnetic stability of the selected magnet under specific geometric conditions. 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.

Other products

The offered product is an incredibly powerful cylinder magnet, manufactured from durable NdFeB material, which, at dimensions of Ø12x1 mm, guarantees optimal power. This specific item boasts a tolerance of ±0.1mm and professional build quality, making it an excellent solution for professional engineers and designers. As a magnetic rod with impressive force (approx. 0.42 kg), this product is available off-the-shelf from our European logistics center, ensuring rapid order fulfillment. Moreover, 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 perfect for building electric motors, advanced Hall effect sensors, and efficient filters, 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 tolerance of ±0.1mm, the best method is to glue them into holes with a slightly larger diameter (e.g., 12.1 mm) using epoxy glues. To ensure stability 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 frequently chosen standard for industrial neodymium magnets, offering a great economic balance and high resistance to demagnetization. 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.
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 12 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 diametrically if your project requires it.

Pros and cons of Nd2Fe14B magnets.

Advantages

Besides their magnetic performance, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (based on calculations),
  • Magnets effectively defend themselves against demagnetization caused by foreign field sources,
  • In other words, due to the metallic surface of nickel, the element gains a professional look,
  • The surface of neodymium magnets generates a intense magnetic field – this is a key feature,
  • Thanks to resistance to high temperature, they can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures up to 230°C and higher...
  • Thanks to modularity in designing and the ability to adapt to unusual requirements,
  • Wide application in innovative solutions – they are utilized in data components, electric drive systems, precision medical tools, also technologically advanced constructions.
  • Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer strong magnetic field in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in miniature devices

Weaknesses

Problematic aspects of neodymium magnets: tips and applications.
  • Susceptibility to cracking is one of their disadvantages. Upon intense impact they can break. We advise keeping them in a strong case, which not only secures them against impacts but also raises their durability
  • NdFeB magnets lose strength when exposed to high temperatures. After reaching 80°C, many of them experience permanent weakening of power (a factor is the shape as well as dimensions of the magnet). We offer magnets specially adapted to work at temperatures up to 230°C marked [AH], which are very resistant to heat
  • Due to the susceptibility of magnets to corrosion in a humid environment, we recommend using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material resistant to moisture, when using outdoors
  • Due to limitations in producing threads and complex shapes in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic holder.
  • Possible danger resulting from small fragments of magnets pose a threat, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. Additionally, small elements of these magnets can complicate diagnosis medical after entering the body.
  • Higher cost of purchase is a significant factor to consider compared to ceramic magnets, especially in budget applications

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what contributes to it?

Information about lifting capacity was defined for ideal contact conditions, assuming:
  • using a base made of mild steel, functioning as a ideal flux conductor
  • with a cross-section of at least 10 mm
  • with a plane perfectly flat
  • with total lack of distance (no coatings)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in temp. approx. 20°C

Practical aspects of lifting capacity – factors

Bear in mind that the application force will differ depending on elements below, starting with the most relevant:
  • Gap (between the magnet and the metal), since even a tiny distance (e.g. 0.5 mm) leads to a reduction in lifting capacity by up to 50% (this also applies to paint, corrosion or debris).
  • Loading method – declared lifting capacity refers to detachment vertically. When attempting to slide, the magnet exhibits much less (typically approx. 20-30% of nominal force).
  • Element thickness – for full efficiency, the steel must be adequately massive. Thin sheet restricts the attraction force (the magnet "punches through" it).
  • Steel grade – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may generate lower lifting capacity.
  • Plate texture – smooth surfaces guarantee perfect abutment, which improves force. Rough surfaces reduce efficiency.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces magnetic field. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Lifting capacity testing was carried out on plates with a smooth surface of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under attempts to slide the magnet the lifting capacity is smaller. Additionally, even a minimal clearance between the magnet and the plate decreases the load capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Fragile material

Beware of splinters. Magnets can fracture upon violent connection, ejecting sharp fragments into the air. We recommend safety glasses.

Immense force

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

Protect data

Do not bring magnets near a purse, laptop, or TV. The magnetic field can destroy these devices and erase data from cards.

Heat warning

Regular neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature surpasses 80°C. The loss of strength is permanent.

Precision electronics

Remember: rare earth magnets produce a field that interferes with precision electronics. Keep a safe distance from your phone, tablet, and navigation systems.

Warning for heart patients

Health Alert: Neodymium magnets can deactivate heart devices and defibrillators. Do not approach if you have electronic implants.

This is not a toy

Absolutely store magnets away from children. Ingestion danger is significant, and the effects of magnets clamping inside the body are fatal.

Avoid contact if allergic

It is widely known that the nickel plating (standard magnet coating) is a potent allergen. If your skin reacts to metals, prevent direct skin contact and select encased magnets.

Crushing risk

Large magnets can crush fingers in a fraction of a second. Never place your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Machining danger

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust reacts violently with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.
